Business and Money Matters in English is a reading and writing course for students of Business Studies and Economics at Tertiary Education who have acquired considerable competence in General English and have a working knowledge in their field of study. The material of this course book is of an upper-intermediate level of English responding to the students’ need to increase their effectiveness in reading and interpreting texts in their subject area, and to develop their writing skills in English as part of their studies or work.
Organization of material
The material is organized into eighteen thematic units, which comprise the three parts of the book. Part I focuses on key economic concepts, Part II covers the most important areas of accounting and finance and Part III explores topics on management and marketing.
Each unit is theme-based and the related subjects are presented in the reading texts of the unit. The texts are followed by a variety of comprehension and vocabulary exercises on similar topics which aim to develop the students’ understanding of business and economic texts and encourage them to ponder over the subject.
In the Language Use passages, the cloze technique has been adopted to identify language problems of some difficulty and thus provide the input to the teaching of grammar.
The Skills You Need component, present in each unit, aims to develop students’ skills in writing on specific subject-matter, such as describing processes and graphics, writing abstracts, writing reports, and other practical tasks. To serve this purpose it provides examples of different types of texts to help students see the principles according to which they are organized.
The Language Reference Section provides insights into the process of writing and focuses on the language structures which are needed for all types of writing assignments; students can resort to it when performing such tasks throughout the course. Furthermore, additional key skills are pointed out, such as writing references, making oral presentations, dealing with numbers.
The book also includes a Glossary of Business and Economic Terms and their Greek equivalents, as well as a Key to selected exercises.
The book will assist readers to read, understand, speak and write in Business English, so as to communicate fluently and correctly with people in their professional environment. Also, it will enable them to use English bibliography, as well as, translate in their own language authentic Business English texts. The material of the book is presented in 20 units. Every unit has: a passage, a glossary on the passage, reading comprehension exercises, terminology practice-exercises, grammar review, action-exercises, writing-exercises. There are also authentic texts for translation and business correspondence. At the back, also, there is a glossary of special terms and an answer key.

H αλματώδης ανάπτυξη της τεχνολογίας των υπολογιστικών συστημάτων, κατά τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες, είχε ως αποτέλεσμα την ανάπτυξη νέων μεθόδων παραγωγής, οι οποίες εξασφαλίζουν αύξηση στην παραγωγικότητα και βελτίωση στην ποιότητα των παραγομένων αγαθών. H χρήση των υπολογιστών, με ολοένα αυξανόμενο ρυθμό, συνέβαλε στο να υπερκερασθούν προβλήματα της συμβατικής τεχνολογίας και οριοθέτησε την εμφάνιση και ανάπτυξη νέων τεχνολογιών της παραγωγής. Oι τεχνολογίες αυτές εξελίσσονται ταχύτατα, δημιουργώντας ένα πλαίσιο υποδομών για την ολοκληρωμένη αυτοματοποίηση της παραγωγικής διαδικασίας.
Το βιβλίο αυτό γράφτηκε με σκοπό να βοηθήσει τον αναγνώστη στην κατανόηση των εννοιών που εμπεριέχονται στην τεχνολογία της Ενοποιημένης Παραγωγής με Ηλεκτρονικό Υπολογιστή (Computer Integrated Manufacturing – CIM) και να βοηθήσει στην εφαρμογή αυτών των εννοιών σε πραγματικές συνθήκες παραγωγής στη βιομηχανία. Το βιβλίο “CIM – Ενοποιημένη Παραγωγή με Ηλεκτρονικό Υπολογιστή”, αποτελεί ένα πολύτιμο εργαλείο γνώσης για αυτούς που σκοπεύουν να υιοθετήσουν την τεχνολογία CIM.
Στα πρώτα 7 κεφάλαια του παρόντος βιβλίου γίνεται μία προσέγγιση των τεχνολογιών που απαιτούνται για την υλοποίηση του CIM σε κατασκευαστικό περιβάλλον.
Οι τεχνολογίες αυτές βασίζονται στην επιστήμη της πληροφορικής και αποτελούν τα βασικά μέρη του παζλ που λέγεται CIM. Οι τεχνολογίες είναι:
ΣΥΣΤΗΜΑΤΑ ΚΑΤΕΡΓΑΣΙΑΣ (Ή ΜΕΤΑΠΟΙΗΣΗΣ Ή ΠΑΡΑΓΩΓΗΣ) ΜΕ Η/Υ (COMPUTER AIDED MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS – CAM). ΣΥΣΤΗΜΑΤΑ ΣΧΕΔΙΑΣΗΣ ΜΕ ΤΗ ΒΟΗΘΕΙΑ ΗΛΕΚΤΡΟΝΙΚΟΥ ΥΠΟΛΟΓΙΣΤΗ (COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN – CAD). ΕΥΕΛΙΚΤΑ ΣΥΣΤΗΜΑΤΑ ΠΑΡΑΓΩΓΗΣ (FLEXIBLE MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS – FMS). ΒΑΣΙΚΕΣ ΑΡΧΕΣ ΤΟΠΙΚΩΝ ΔΙΚΤΥΩΝ ΥΠΟΛΟΓΙΣΤΩΝ . ΠΡΟΓΡΑΜΜΑΤΙΣΜΟΣ ΠΑΡΑΓΩΓΗΣ ΚΑΙ ΠΡΟΣΕΓΓΙΣΗ JUST-IN-TIME (JIT). ΔΙΑΧΕΙΡΙΣΗ ΥΛΙΚΩΝ ΚΑΙ ΕΛΕΓΧΟΣ ΑΠΟΘΕΜΑΤΩΝ. ΔΙΑΣΦΑΛΙΣΗ ΠΟΙΟΤΗΤΑΣ ΚΑΙ ΕΛΕΓΧΟΣ ΠΑΡΑΓΩΓΗΣ. ΕΝΟΠΟΙΗΜΕΝΗ ΠΑΡΑΓΩΓΗ ΜΕ Η/Υ
Θεωρήθηκε αναγκαίο να προηγηθεί στο βιβλίο η περιγραφή αυτών των τεχνολογιών επειδή ο αναγνώστης όταν φθάσει στο 8ο κεφάλαιο θα πρέπει να γνωρίζει τις τεχνολογίες που προσδοκούμε να ενοποιήσει η εφαρμογή του CIM.
Επιδιωκόμενοι στόχοι:
Η εισαγωγή του αναγνώστη στη φιλοσοφία της Ενοποιημένης Παραγωγής με Ηλεκτρονικό Υπολογιστή (CIM) και η επεξήγηση των διαφόρων εννοιών του CIM.
H παρούσα εργασία παρουσιάζει τους «νέους» καταναλωτές της οικονομίας του Διαδικτύου, τα νέα δεδομένα στο χώρο του εμπορίου και τα καινούργια ερωτήματα και προβλήματα που παρουσιάστηκαν στην αγορά. Eρωτήματα όπως: «Ποια είναι τα πραγματικά προβλήματα σχετικά με τη διατήρηση των προσωπικών δεδομένων των πελατών;».
FROM PREFACE
English is the international language of aviation –and therefore the language most frequently used in technical and maintenance documents–, but it is often not the native language of the maintenance personnel who use technical manuals. As a result, complex technical instructions can be misunderstood by those without strong English language skills. A misunderstanding of instructions can lead to accidents. A study on language errors in aviation maintenance found that the most common errors occur in both written and spoken English. The study also revealed that maintenance personnel with better reading skills made fewer language errors. Consequently, improving the language skills of aviation professionals can have a significant impact on communication, which can lead to improved aviation safety.
English for Avionics, Electrical Systems and Navigation (Student’s Book, Volume 1) focuses on aviation English used for communication purposes by avionics and electrical engineers, as well as by pilots. It focuses on the learners’ reading, speaking, listening and writing skills and presents some of the most important lexical items and expressions that engineers, engineering technicians and pilots need in their work environment. Grammar practice is provided, and the target structures are contextualized in each unit.
English for Avionics, Electrical Systems and Navigation (Student’s Book, Volume 1) does not aim at teaching the subject-matter of aeronautical engineering. The purpose of the book is to show how language is used as a medium for communication in aviationrelated settings, and to give students a comprehensive grounding in communication skills in English.
This book consists of two volumes (the Student’s Book – Volume 1, and the Workbook – Volume 2). The Workbook (Volume 2) contains activities and exercises based on the skills and vocabulary covered in the Student’s Book. It is aimed at consolidating the material covered in each unit. It also contains a bilingual (English-Greek) glossary of vocabulary used in the Student’s Book.
The material is organized into twelve thematic units, each one divided into two sections. The reading passages are authetic taken from a variety of sources and cover a wide range of topics, from simple components to communication systems.
In Section A, emphasis is put on vocabulary acquisition and interpretation of scientific texts. In Section B, the aim is to familiarize readers with a variety of texts and help them develop various reading strategies and improve their reading efficiency for using reference materials, manuals, product catalogues, etc.
This book does not include exercises for practising various grammatical phenomena but the Language Reference Section presents the language structures and functions commonly used in technical texts. A Glossary of Electronic Terms and their Greek equivalents as well as Key to selected exercises are included in the book.
