With the worldwide dissemination of science and technique, English for science and technology has been developed into an important language in the scope of science and technology. Since the 1970s’, it had aroused extensive attention and led to much research among different nations. English for science and technology plays an important role in scientific and technical communication all over the world.
The English for Science and Technology (EST) emerged in the 1950s. It was the outcome of the swift development of science and technology after World WarⅡ. Since the 1970s, the EST has aroused worldwide attention and led to much research among different nations. With more and more science papers published in English, the EST, a major variety of English, which is different from the daily English and literary English, has emerged as the
