The Routledge Handbook of English for Academic Purposes Reviews

Don't do EAP without it! This volume defines-in 45 chapters by the experts who have shaped the field internationally-the current nature and scope, prevailing activities, and conceptual foundations of EAP: an authoritative, clearly organized resource for advanced students, researchers, program administrators, and educators in universities and schools around the world. Alister Cumming, University of Toronto, Canada

This Handbook is an authoritative, comprehensive and truly international compendium of theory, research and practice in the field of EAP. A group of distinguished scholars provide internationally-relevant and at the same time socially-situated insightful analyses of existing and emerging understandings of EAP in diverse locations across the globe and with reference to traditional and novel EAP genres and contexts. Rosa M. Manchon, University of Murcia, Spain

This volume illustrates how widely EAP is practiced and the variety of research traditions that have influenced current understandings of academic English. The contributors demonstrate that educational values and practices differ considerably from country to country and encourage a critical stance to researching, developing and teaching EAP in local contexts. Diane Schmitt, Nottingham Trent University, UK
