NUCLEUS is an integrated series for students who need English language skills for specialist purposes. It provides a sound basis for the study of scientific and technological subjects in English. Moreover, it ensures complete motivation through interesting situations and enjoyable language activities.
The concept-building 'core' of the series is the General Science course. Related to this core there are nine specific courses for different subjects, of which Biology is one. General Science presents aspects of language use common to all disciplines. Biology exploits the same aspects within the context of the subject, and develops reading and listening comprehension.
Biology can be used in parallel with General Science, following on from it, or independently as an intensive course.
The titles in the series are :
General Science
Biology Geology Physics Chemistry Mathematics Engineering Agriculture Medicine Nursing Science
All students' books are accompanied by separate teacher's notes on methodology and scientific background, together with texts for listening comprehension and the answers to the exercises. Each specific course is accompanied by a cassette containing the pieces for listening comprehension.
