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'"Introducing English for Academic Purposes is an essential
reading resource for students of applied linguistics, and novice as
well as experienced teachers of EAP…. This means that there is no
doubt that anybody involved in EAP will warmly welcome this
book."Violeta Jurkovič, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia in 'ESP
Today'

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 Coxhead, Rebecca Belworthy,
