"One of the most controversial issues in EAP curriculum development is the question of whether the focus of instruction should be geared toward general academic instruction or toward discipline-specific features. The work of Magali Paquot shows that there exists a culture of academic literacy signalled by a range of non-technical vocabulary which can be used by undergraduate students in diverse disciplines, particularly those words or phrases for marking major academic functions, such as defining, exemplifying, classifying, and reporting the viewpoints of other scholars. This book holds important implications for teachers of academic writing to all novice writers, both native and non-native. The findings the author has presented should be incorporated into materials development for undergraduate teaching." -- Joanne Neff van Aertselaer, Centro Superior de Idiomas Modernos, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain The book is well organized... is definitely a reference and a source of ideas for teaching EFL as well as for designing teaching materials. -- The International Journal of Multicultural Education ... this book effectively addresses a range ofrelevant issues in investigating academic vocabulary in learner writing. Thebook will appeal to researchers, scholars and graduate students who areinterested in conducting research studies in this field. The volume could alsobe used in graduate level classes, especially doctoral seminars, on discoursestudies and corpus linguistics. -- Discourse Studies 13 (6)
