The document discusses the challenges that Indian students face in learning English for technical subjects like engineering, mathematics, and physics when studying independently without teachers or courses. It provides examples of scientific formulas and expressions that are difficult for ESL students to read aloud correctly in English due to unfamiliar mathematical symbols and operators. The author argues that the teaching of English for science and technology needs to account for the specific needs of Indian students and improve syllabus design, teaching methods, materials, and training for teachers to better equip them for scientific English.

2. One Student is in NEED. Will YOU help? Hi , I have a huge problem... I need to study engineering textbooks written in English. I usually have no problems with technical terms, as long as I can find their pronunciation in a dictionary,but when it comes to formulae...uh-oh... Now, here's the problem: how can ESL students read engineering, mathematics or physics textbooks if they are learning English by themselves, studying in their own country? I have been learning English by myself, no teachers, and no courses at all. Unfortunately I can't afford to study abroad, and now I'm really stuck. I'll give you some examples. How should a student read: (2bx+a)4b ok, this is simple, two B X plus A multiplied by four B, for example... but now... 25 (A^2 m)/V^4 umm... twenty-five amperes squared meters over volts to the forth, or maybe twenty-five square amperes meters over volts to the forth... 10 m^2/kg^2 ten square meters over square kilogram(s), or ten meters squared per square kilogram, etc. (+3x)(-b) positive three X times negative B, or positive three X times minus B, or plus three X multiplied by minus B, etc.
