Reviews

Flowerdew and Costley have brought together an outstanding group of authors for this volume. The chapters bring together theory and practice in a way that is both highly readable as well as extremely useful for teachers of discipline-specific writing. An excellent publication. Brian Paltridge, University of Sydney, Australia This book demonstrates the value of research-informed teaching. Research on disciplinary writing is extended into practical considerations for the teacher in the classroom. The multiple research perspectives, teaching strategies and pedagogic considerations raised in this book will make it an enormously useful resource for researchers and teachers. Suganthi John, University of Birmingham, UK
