English for Students of Sociology

This is the first of a series of four books designed to assist students who wish to develop English skills in the area of sociology and to enhance their professional understanding of the subject. Every book in the series consists of ten units and a glossary of special terms. Each of the ten units begins with a passage pertaining to sociology followed by a reading comprehension section and discussion questions designed to stimulate class participation and help students think and express themselves analytically. It also includes a variety of activities and exercises built around the special terminology of sociology, as well as several writing projects which aim at helping the learner master specialized vocabulary and improve his or her writing skills and general use of the English language.
