Abstract
This paper is concerned primarily with the reading-writing materials designed for first year science students at Chiang Mai University and the factors affecting the design. The materials will be used experimentally during the first semester of this coming academic year (June 1978-9). Therefore, the results of the use of these materials are not yet known. Formerly, EST courses were offered only for second year science students and all of the science freshmen had to take the general English courses. From our experience, switching from the general English courses taken during their first year to EST courses during their second year has been very difficult for the students. This is probably due to the different nature of the courses; that is, general versus scientific English and perhaps also the level we are trying to reach by the end of the second year. Because of this, we consider it more appropriate that EST courses, English 191 and 192, be offered for all first year science students.
