Developing Courses in English for Specific
Purposes
Presented in two parts, this book firstly introduces core
considerations in ESP course development drawing on
examples from a wide range of ESP and EAP courses.
Secondly four case studies show how experienced ESP
teachers and course developers went about developing
courses to meet the needs of their particular learners.
English for Writing Research Papers
This guide is based on a study of referees' reports and
letters from journal editors on reasons why papers written
by non-native researchers are rejected due to problems
with English usage. It draws on English-related errors from
around 5000 papers written by non-native authors, 500
abstracts by PhD students, and over 1000 hours of
teaching researchers how to write and present research
papers.
Breaking Open the Box
We need a more creative approach to teaching writing.
A methodology incorporating creativity, as modeled by
students in this text, demonstrates the kind of progress
we are all seeking, offering an exciting challenge for
young writers and educators alike.
Engaging Ideas
Integrating critical thinking with writing-across-the-
curriculum approaches, the book shows how teachers
from any discipline can incorporate these activities into
their courses. This edition features new material dealing
with genre and discourse community theory,
quantitative/scientific literacy, blended and online
learning, and other current issues.
