Abstract

The needs of the students at AIT in terms of their reading and writing differ from engineering and science students at other universities in terms of degree more than of kind. Although students are postgraduate, and usually with several years of English behlind them, they share with all other students faced with engineering or science texts the same motivation. This is the retrieval of information which is explicitly stated. The obvious contrast here is with students of literature who are faced with texts where the information is often presented less explicity and where understanding will be of degree, and directly related to the development of the reader's sensibility.
