Beskrivning

This book is published open access. The field of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) developed to address the needs of students whose mother tongue is not English. However, the linguistic competence required to achieve academic success at any university where English is the medium of instruction is a challenge for all students. While there are linguistic features common to academic literacy as a general genre, closer investigation reveals significant differences from one academic field to another. This volume asks what good writing is within specific disciplines, focussing on student work. Each chapter provides key insights by EAP professionals, based on their research in which they bring together analysis of student writing and interviews with subject specialists and markers who determine what ‘good writing’ is in their discipline. The volume includes chapters on established disciplines which have had less attention in the EAP and academic writing literature to date, including music, formal linguistics, and dentistry, as well as new and growing fields of study such as new media.The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

Recensioner i media

This volume addresses one of the most important questions in English for Academic Purposes. The answers it provides are thoroughly grounded in practice, and presented in a way that will allow practitioners to apply them to their own writing classrooms. Taken individually, the chapters shed useful light on the textual features prized in a range of academic disciplines. Collectively, they provide an exemplary blueprint for practice-proximate work on the scholarship of teaching and learning.
