Reviews

“This timely volume exemplifies the commitment and ingenuity of ESP/EAP teachers in diverse and challenging contexts who bridge theory and practice to make some of the most thoughtful responses to their students’ needs and meet them where they are. Highly recommended for practitioners and researchers who look for innovative curricular designs and practice-grounded inspiration.” -Hu Guangwei, Assoc Dean of Faculty of Humanities, Prof of Language and Literacy Education, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Editor-in-Chief for Journal of English for Academic Purposes. ""Rosmawati and Marjolijn Verspoor’s book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in English for academic purposes. It covers a wide range of teaching approaches, programs, and contexts as well as discussing issues that need to be considered in EAP program development and delivery. Readers from across the world will find the book invaluable."" -Brian Paltridge, Professor of TESOL, University of Sydney.
