Abstract

Technical writing requires clarity of expression and therefore simplicity of language. Technical words are an integral part of a discipline. The knowledge about them enriches and helps one to distinguish it among various disciplines of language. Writing, in a clear and concise manner makes not only understanding the text easier for the reader, but also makes his life as a writer of technical documentation easier .One of the good things about technical writing is that one really can learn to improve. This study is designed to investigate the perfection in usage of technical words like Native words, jargon words, business words, and scientific words among EFL learners’ writing comprehension from a scheme of theoretical perspective. The sample consisted of 40 students studying in government arts college of Coimbatore. This article aims to provide a linguistic approach in technical words to improve writing skills of students.

Introduction

Writing is one of the language skills, which is considered a powerful mode of communication. Like speech, writing helps to produce the language. It is assumed that learners can express their thoughts through writing in an organized way. When we write, we go through a mental process which is more complex. We have to think, organize the idea, write, revise and edit to get a perfect writing and thus we can concentrate on language use more precisely. However, writing is considered much more challenging language skill to learn like speaking rather than listening and reading. Most of the learners need more time to acquire writing skill successfully.
