ПРЕДИСЛОВИЕ К 1-МУ ИЗДАНИЮ
Настоящий учебник предназначен для студентов технических университетов и институтов, изучавших английский язык в средней школе, и составлен в соответствии с требованиями программы по иностранным языкам для неязыковых вузов. Учебник рассчитан на 270—280 часов аудиторных занятий. Он может быть использован для самостоятельного совершенствования знаний теми, кто хочет научиться читать научно-техническую литературу.
Цель учебника — подготовить студентов к чтению специальной научно-технической литературы для извлечения информации, а также привить им навыки устной речи по специальной и неспециальной тематике.
При организации учебного материала авторы ставили целью повторение и обобщение основных фамматических тем и лексики, пройденных в средней школе, а также углубленное изучение тех грамматических и лексических явлений, которые необходимы студентам для профессионального общения на английском языке. Тематика текстов определяется тем минимумом общетехнических знаний, которым обладают студенты первых двух курсов технических университетов и институтов. Тексты учебника отобраны из оригинальных английских и американских источников с учетом их информативности и соответствия научно-техническим достижениям и изложены по принципу возрастания трудности и постепенного усложнения языка и тематики.
Учебник состоит из 12 уроков-тем, дополнительных текстов, поурочного грамматического справочника, англо-русского словаря и приложения. Каждый урок-тема содержит четыре текста, три из которых объединены общей тематикой, а четвертый, как правило, имеет страноведческую направленность. Все эти тексты предназначены для обучения различным видам чтения. Первый текст урока является основным и подлежит тщательной проработке и анализу для изучения тех фамматических и лексических явлений, которым посвящен данный урок. Второй и третий тексты служат развитию навыков чтения и извлечения необходимой информации, а также навыков беседы по соответствующей тематике, что способствует закреплению лекси-ко-грамматического материала, проработанного в основном тексте. Четвертый текст урока посвящен вопросам страноведения и дает возможность провести беседу, дискуссию за круглым столом, ролевую шру с привлечением иллюстративного и дополнительного материала, подобранного преподавателем и студентами самостоятельно.
Каждый урок-тема начинается с предтекстовых упражнений для проработки фамматического и лексического материала. Э^ги тематические упражнения предназначены для преодоления лексических и фамматических трудностей основного текста и требуют детальной проработки в аудитории. Упражнения составлены на основе лексики предшествующих уроков. Упражнения после основного текста даны для закрепления грамматического и лексического материала.
Упражнения на словообразование содержат в основном активную лексику. Эти упражнения, а также работу с интернациональной лексикой рекомендуется выполнять в аудитории. При этом преподаватель постоянно обращает особое внимание студентов на сопоставление схождений и расхождений грамматической структуры и лексического фонда родного и изучаемого языков. Широкий выбор лексико-фамматических упражнений позволяет это сделать.
Для практического использования студентом приобретенных знаний нужно обладать умением самостоятельно работать над языком. Поэтому авторы сочли необходимым ввести специальную серию упражнений для самостоятельной работы. Эти упражнения даны для закрепления пройденной лексики и грамматики и подготовки к работе со словарем. Заключительное упражнение каждого урока (перевод текста без словаря) служит для контроля усвоения студентом грамматических и лексических аспектов данного урока.
Неотъемлемой частью общения является умение вести беседу на профессиональные темы, для чего приведены упражнения рубрики Conversation, задания к которым даны по-английски. При этом авторы следуют принципу постепенного усложнения как текстов, так и заданий. Обширная тематика и большое количество текстов, заданий к ним и упражнений дают возможность преподавателю варьировать работу в зависимости от уровня подготовки группы и давать индивидуальные задания студентам.
Дополнительные тексты по тематике и лексике связаны с основными текстами уроков. Они предназначены для самостоятельной и индивидуальной работы и могут быть использованы в качестве дс-полнителъного материала при проведении дискуссий, бесед и конференций.
В конце учебника даны англо-русский словарь и приложения. В словарь включены все слова, встречающиеся в текстах и упражнениях.
Авторы выражают благодарность за ценные указания, советы, помощь и замечания сотрудникам кафедры иностранных языков Н.Н. Пыховой и Л.М. Степановой.
ПРЕДИСЛОВИЕ К 4-МУ ИЗДАНИЮ
В четвертом издании «Учебника английского языка для технических университетов и вузов» изменено внешнее оформление. Это связано с тем, что учебник вошел в серию «Иностранный язык в техническом университете».
В третьем издании полностью заменены тексты 1А и 12А, дополнены и расширены некоторые предтекстовые упражнения. После каждого урока основного курса даются дополнительные задания: упражнения к тексту, небольшой текст-упражнение, упражнения к этому тексту, направленные в основном на работу с лексикой и соответствующей терминологией, ее закрепление, развитие языковой догадки. Упражнения такого типа развивают у студентов навыки работы с незнакомым текстом. Кроме того, после каждых трех уроков дан раздел Revision, включающий грамматические и лексические упражнения по проработанным урокам и небольшой текст. Этот материал должен способствовать повторению, закреплению пройденного материала и может быть использован в качестве рубежного контроля.
В раздел Supplementary Texts добавлены тексты, связанные с тематикой уроков основного курса. В поурочный грамматический справочник введены темы «Местоимения», «Дополнения», а также новые таблицы ряда грамматических тем.
В настоящее время появились новые факультеты и специальности в технических университетах, поэтому в дополнение к основному курсу дается материал по инженерному бизнесу и менеджменту и юриспруденции для завершающего этапа обучения.
Произношение дается по словарю «Everyman's English Pronouncing Dictionary» Даниила Джонса (Daniel Jones).

Higher Education in Russia
Higher education plays an important part in the life of any country as it provides the country with highly-qualified specialists
for future development and progress. It trains people to become teachers, engineers, doctors and other professional workers.
In all the industrial countries standards of living are steadily changing; this means that the kind of education, which was good enough thirty years ago, is not necessarily good for them today. The serious need to find ways and means of ensuring continuous and thorough adoption of the universities to contemporary needs in our rapidly changing world is widely recognized. And this means that styles of teaching, quality of learning materials1 and organization of the university itself have to be continuously brought up to date2 and improved.
Besides, knowledge and information which comes through the mass media must also be taken into consideration. This information explosion3 has affected every field of Study, especially, of course, in the natural and applied sciences and in all other sciences as well. The increase of information requires new methods and new approaches to students' training and instruction4.
At present a new system of education is introduced in this country — a distance education system. This computer system of learning helps working professionals to continue their education while remaining at their jobs. This system enables people to get knowledge and a good foundation in the sciences basic to his or her field of study. Distance learning has developed over years5 from satellite video courses to modern videoconferencing through personal computers.
The academic year usually lasts 9 months and is divided into two terms (semesters). The first- and second-year students obtain thorough instructions in the fundamental sciences of mathematics, physics, chemistry and drawing as well as computer engineering and a number of others. The curricula are enriched and broadened6 by instructions in such subjects as foreign languages, history and economics.
At the third year students get more advanced knowledge and begin to concentrate on their special interests, so to say, their «major» subject and take many courses in this subject. Specialized study and courses will help students to become specialists and prepare them for their future work.
After four years students will get a bachelor's degree. Then the students may go on with their studies and in a year or two of further study and research get a master's degree. After graduating from the university they may go on with their study and research and may get a still higher degree.
About 75 percent of students receive state grants and 15 percent are sponsored by enterprises. Universities have their own students' hostels and some of them have large and excellent sport centers.
Education is a process through which culture is preserved, knowledge and skills are developed, values are formed, and information is exchanged.
Education is the way to success.
