Mit fortschreitender Globalisierung von Waren und Dienstleistungen hält an immer mehr Arbeitsplätzen in Chemie-, Pharma- und Biotech-Branche die englische Sprache Einzug. In der Schule hat man zwar gelernt, sich über Alltagsthemen zu unterhalten, aber wenn es darum geht, dem Kundendienst am Telefon die Fehlfunktion des teuersten Geräts im Labor zu beschreiben, kommt doch so mancher ins Schwitzen. Nach einer Einführung, in der die wichtigsten Besonderheiten der englischen Sprache aus Sicht eines deutschen Sprechers rekapituliert werden, behandelt der Autor in 14 Lektionen Schritt für Schritt den Spezialwortschatz und fachspezifische Sprach- und Schreibformen. Die Themen reichen von mathematischen Ausdrücken über chemische Nomenklatur, Biomoleküle, Versuchstiere und Prozesstechnik bis hin zum Umgang mit Regulierungsbehörden und Audits. Gesprächssituationen wie der Anruf beim Kundendienst, die Vorstellung beim neuen Chef oder das Kundengespräch am Messestand werden analysiert und eingeübt. Mit direktem Bezug zur Berufspraxis geht dieser Sprachführer über herkömmliche Englischkurse weit hinaus und bietet wertvolle Hilfe für alle, die im Beruf besser Englisch sprechen wollen. Auch für den fachbezogenen Sprachunterricht an Fachschulen und Hochschulen ist dieses Buch bestens geeignet. Komplett mit Übungen, Tests und Rezepten, wie man die häufigsten Fehler vermeidet. Das Buch ist auch als e-Book mit Audiounterstützung erhältlich.

Preface
When compared with English, the German language and its lengthy verbatim deals a blow to English speaking natives, but undeniably, English is the lingua franca for global business communication. Airlines and airport control personnel, international trade shows or sporting events (World Cup Football, Olympics, European-wide track and field, etc.), life sciences (medical, pharma, biotech), “Rock ‘n’ Roll” music, NATO, as well as the chemical industries rely on English as the common language.
In fact, Webster's Third New International Dictionary, together with its 1993 Addenda section includes some 470,000 word entries (vocabulary).
The Oxford English Dictionary, Second Edition, reports that it includes a similar or comparable number of words.
According to Goethe Institute's Web site, “The German language is constantly producing new words,” known as neologisms. Yet it may take several years for a word to be included in the Duden dictionary and various criteria also have to be fulfilled. It is a well-known fact that philologists are cautious to comment on how many words exist in the German language… 200 000, 300 000, or even 500 000? It's hard to say, is what you always hear.
But what is clear is that German, as well as French loan words exist in the English language. Some examples of German loan words to English are the following (further discussed in Section 75):
Angst,
as in fear
Arbeiter,
during Richard M. Nixon's US Presidency, Henry Kissinger was the
Arbiter
of “shuttle diplomacy” between certain Arab factions and Israel
Gesundheit,
as in G-d bless you (when someone sneezes)
Gneis,
as in the metamorphic rock,
Gneiss
Kindergarten,
first year of elementary (primary) school
Schadenfreude,
someone who finds comfort or delight in someone else's misfortune or unhappiness
Schlepp,
as into
schlepp
baggage around.
Fachenglische für Laborberufe (Technical English for Laboratory Personnel) is a practical instructing manual specifically for the German-speaking market and with its goal to support one's English communication skills for everyday use.

This practical innovative teaching manual will provide you with instruction and guidance for:
Sector industry terminology
Practical advice for introducing yourself to English-speaking colleagues such as:
“Elevator Speech,” which acts as your introductory “tool”
Oral presentations to be made at a trade exhibition (Messe), congress, symposium, and so on.
“Small-talk” topics and strategy for use with international colleagues
Understanding/Interpreting a seminar or webinar's advertisement
Basic legal regulatory affairs terminology, something the author believes is unique for laboratory personnel to delve into
Special technical vocabulary related to prefixes (Vorsilbe)-/suffixes (Nachsilbe), Synonyms ≠ Antonyms
Lessons for business communication skills such as:
tips to improve writing more effective e-mails
ways to improve automatic e-mail responses when away from the laboratory
Comparing British (Oxford)-English
BrE
and American-English
AmE
Selected science topics with appropriate terminology for chemistry, biology, biochemistry, laboratory instrumentation, and so on.
Laboratory jargon, business expressions, industry abbreviations, and mnemonic devices (Eselsbrücke)
Spelling, pronunciation, and grammar tips with appropriate quizzes to test your technical English skills.
Authored by an English/German speaker, who is a certified NY State Biology Educator with decades of industry experience as a former specialty chemical sales and marketing manager for a top chemical processor in the New York City metro region; to our knowledge, no book of this kind exists for the German-speaking nations or regions of Europe.
Based on the author's professional experience in developing and implementing a proven curriculum for German-speaking laboratory personnel, this book's topics were selected because of practical work with German-speaking laboratory personnel.
It's been my observation that the method of instructing English is often attempted by non-native speaking educators and without international business experience; thus, the goal here is to stimulate the reader to learn technical English from a more focused perspective. With a little perseverance, you will enjoy and benefit rapidly from this approach, Der Mut verließ ihn, üben, üben, üben… Viele Glück/Good luck

Acknowledgments
My deep gratitude and thanks goes out to the following people for helping me to write this book.
Firstly, I wish to thank my wife, Annelie Struessmann, who spent endless hours on what she says is my “hobby,” namely, business communication skills workshops for the German-speaking markets. As a Muttersprachlerin, Annelie's guidance, understanding of the German chemical industry and expertise in EU/Global chemical regulations helped immensely. How she put up with me during the time for writing this book remains a mystery!
Also, I wish to thank the following family members and mentors for their help, guidance, and support:
Herr Carsten Struessman, whose understanding for endless nuances between American and British English became essential for several chapters written for this book.
Herr Simon Gust, Esq. Lawyer with BaFin, Bonn, Germany, who provided me with support on legal translations and terminology.
Herr Dr. Helmar Gust, Institut für Kognitionswissenschaft, Universität Osnabrück, Germany for support on technical terminology.
Mr. George Pincus and Mr. Stan Silverberg, both retired NY State Educators, and life time educational mentors of mine.
