With English For Tech, Anna Gandrabura has come out with a valuable tool for tech job-seekers and their teachers alike. Anna excels at weaving technical vocabulary into colloquial English verbs and phrases that students are likely to hear in the real world. Equally impressive are the audio files: they are plentiful, and they’re authentic in spoken language and rate of speech. For the student who likes knowing the ‘rules’ of English, they will be delighted by the grammar sections—well organized tables of verb patterns and endings abound. Finally, the Annglish Tips are great, bite-sized tips that will increase the student’s feelings of mastering the challenges of English for Tech. This is a course book I would teach from, and would wholeheartedly recommend to self-study students. -Thea Micoli, Former Celta and Delta teacher
