The contents provide practice in both productive and receptive skills (listening, reading, speaking and writing) . It is to say that students will be able to share opinions, make comparisons and agree or disagree about the presentation of the topics. This book consists of six lessons related to a specific topic – based syllabus about architectural terms.  \nI have found some useful information and quoted various practical pages referring to grammar drills and readings related to Architecture with a shortlist of questions in order to motivate students to learn new words and phrases associated with their career. Also, I have read many programs about Architecture and moreover, I wanted to contribute with my personal English teaching experience supported on 17 years of training the English Language. Therefore, I decided to write this handbook.  \nEnglish for Architects is based on the concept of using translation practice like an important tool of learning. This method involves students in the educational process through the English – Spanish Vocabulary technique.  \n§ The readings are adapted from specific topics that improve the learning of technical vocabulary about Architecture using categories of words such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs.  \n§ The vocabulary review is related to the texts showed in each unit.  \n§ The grammar exercises are presented through additional examples of the target grammar structures.  \n§ The listening section gives students the opportunity to classify different sounds through lyrics.  \n§ The speaking section helps students to apply what they have learned in the previous language focus and listening drills.  \n§ The pronunciation section deals with phonetics and the individual translation of all the terms related to this field.  \n§ Writing exercises help students to develop their narrative skills so that it is necessary to know the new methods to write good essays.  \nI believe that this academic text is going to be useful and interesting for university students in their career because they will be able to practice English in both their professional and daily lives.  \nRITA MARIDUEÑA TORRES  \nENGLISH FOR ARCHITECTS  \nContents  \nIntroduction ………………………………………………………………………2  \nPlan of the book ……………………………………………………………….. 6  \nLesson One EXPLORING ARCHITECTURE ……………………………………9  \n1. 1.
