No matter what field of expertise they choose to master, students know that the abilities to read an article well and comprehend the main points, to present a dynamic and effective oral report, and to work with groups, are essential to their success. The same skills are essential to every individual in a professional environment. "Communication for Science", one of the books in a "Communication" Series published for undergraduate South African students, has been extensively trialled in a technikon environment, with specific focus on students language and learning needs. In course-specific and general discussion and exercises, it takes a practical look at topics including communicating in a business environment, reading and writing reports, holding effective meetings, carrying out research, using a library and understanding a catalogue system, and compiling a bibliography. "Communication for Science" provides a springboard to academic achievement by equipping students with these tools.
