Description
This book is developed for use by non-native speakers of English enrolled in Technical Writing and Communication courses. "Technical Writing and Professional Communication, 2/e", places technical writing in its context, showing students how to consider their purpose and their audience when writing reports, memos, and correspondence. Formerly titled "Technical Writing and Professional Communication: A Handbook for Non-native Speakers", the new edition features a case running throughout seven chapters, dynamically illustrating the writing process. The revision also provides complete coverage of the new computer technologies and the new attention to the intercultural concerns in today's business world.
