English for Academic Purposes: A Guide and Resource Book for Teachers

Cambridge Language Teaching Library

by R.R. Jordan

English for Academic Purposes provides a comprehensive overview of the field of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) for teachers. It not only looks at study skills, but also at other central concerns of EAP, such as needs analysis, syllabus and course design, methodology and materials, learning styles, tests and exams, and academic style and genre analysis. In addition to general EAP, the author also considers subject-specific language and the production of teaching materials. Throughout, the author adopts a user-friendly approach in which theoretical considerations are balanced with practical experience. Issues are discussed and illustrated, but readers are also encouraged to form their own opinions by means of stimulating introspect and discuss sections at the end of each chapter.

Very thorough overview of EAP containing lots of useful ideas for lessons and also helped me get a job teaching EAP at a UK university this summer. I cannot recommend this highly enough.
