Table of ContentsReviewsChun's fresh and engaging exploration of how an EAP teacher implemented functional grammar and critical literacy in her classes is an important contribution to the EAP literature. His discussion of the collaboration between himself and the EAP teacher offers an intimate portrait of the challenges of translating newly-learned theoretical constructs into everyday classroom activities. Sarah Benesch, College of Staten Island, City University of New York, USA This is an exemplary study of an EAP classroom. It is a critically reflexive and refreshing account of what it means to be an EAP teacher and what we do in our classrooms. The writing is both engaging and thoughtful and I highly recommend it.

Brian Paltridge, University of Sydney, Australia Through a critical ethnographic study of one teacher's evolving practice, Christian Chun challenges us to interrogate the nexus between neoliberal social and economic forces and the daily classroom realities of an EAP teacher and her students striving to make and share meaning in what has become the higher education marketplace. Sue Starfield, The University of New South Wales, Australia Christian Chun's book is a true must for anyone involved in EAP teaching and researching, for anyone who is captive to the dilemmas of neoliberal higher education. -- Catalina Neculai, Coventry University, UK Journal of English for Academic Purposes (2015) 1-4 Author InformationAuthor Website: http://www.usc.edu/rossierChristian W.
