Features: Due to the rapid development of global informatization, the demand for talent in communication and computer network fields has been continuously growing. With China's entry into the WTO, Chinese education should align with the world, making the enhancement of foreign language teaching, especially professional English teaching, one of the key focuses of higher education. Faced with the massive influx of new theories and technologies in communication, computer networks, and information-related fields—most of which are primarily in English—how to improve the English proficiency, particularly professional English skills, of college students has become an urgent research task in the field of education. This book is one of the planned teaching materials for higher vocational and technical college students in communication and network fields.

Each chapter includes annotations, vocabulary and phrases, and reading materials. This textbook emphasizes the characteristics of higher vocational education, striving to explain the basic knowledge and applications of communication and networks in simple and easy-to-understand English while introducing as many new technologies and cutting-edge developments in the field as possible.

It is suitable for higher vocational and technical college students in communication, network, computer, and information-related fields.
