Introduction
Section I The Field of EAPIndex
Maggie Charles is tutor in English for Academic Studies at Oxford University Language Centre, UK. Diane Pecorari is Professor of English Linguistics at Linnaeus University, Sweden. Both writers have many years' experience of teaching and researching English for Academic Purposes in contexts around the world.
"This book offers an excellent introduction to the field of EAP.
I thoroughly recommend this volume to all students, pre-service and
in-service teachers of EAP."
John Flowerdew, City University of Hong Kong "A highly
accessible introduction to EAP. Charles and Pecorari don't just
connect the dots between theory and practice; they provide the
scaffolding needed for readers to make the connections themselves
as they contemplate how to embark on or continue their own journeys
of research-informed reflective EAP practice."
Diane D. Belcher, Georgia State University, USA "Combining an
excellent synthesis of research findings and a detailed coverage of
current approaches and perspectives, this should be regarded as
essential reading for teacher education in EAP."
Helen Basturkmen, University of Auckland, New Zealand "A truly
excellent introduction to the field. For [EAP teachers], the
movement from theory to practical application and implication will
be very welcome and the level is perfectly pitched with regards to
assumed and new knowledge. The economy and beguiling simplicity
with which the knotty and multi-layered fabric of frameworks,
perspectives and approaches are staked out so very clearly is
evidence of two forensic minds completely on top of their
game."
Peter Saunders, University of Oxford, UK
in 'System' "This...book...overviews the whole field, providing
cohesion between its different parts...For this reason, as well as
for the clear and interesting presentation, it is likely to be in
wide demand for teacher education programmes as well as for course
planners and teachers...In summary this book is readable, current
and very applied."
Marilyn Lewis, University of Auckland, New
Zealand in 'TESOLANZ News' "We recommend this book to teachers
and researchers with interests in EAP and ESP in particular, but
not exclusively. Those outside the field and in contexts that are
less explicitly covered by this book, such as secondary school,
will also find it informative and practical." Averil
