Applied linguistics for ELT; ELT: English for academic purposes

Series: Routledge Focus on Linguistics

This volume provides a concise overview of linguistic description in the field of English for Academic Purposes, charting its evolution and categorizing the various strands of research interest. Given the increasing use of English as a lingua franca, there has been a corresponding upsurge into research in EAP. The book synthesizes this research in one single volume and offers brief overviews on key terms and topics in EAP, including academic events and study genres, professional research genres and disciplinary discourses. This volume is key reading for graduate students new to the field as well as established researchers looking to expand their knowledge base in EAP. The work highlights the kinds of descriptions of academic English that have resulted from the research, which can be of interest to disciplinary teachers and lecturers, including those in English medium instruction.

Reviews for Linguistic Description in English for Academic Purposes

Basturkmen's book provides the ever-widening circle of the EAP community with a go-to text that brings an overview of the relevant literature and research endeavours in one place. This reading is a must for scholars researching as well as academics and teachers using English in educational and scholarly settings. - Kristina Cergol, University of Zagreb, Croatia, ESP Today This book represents a much needed and very comprehensive resource for EAP researchers, teachers, and materials developers, as well as for students and unseasoned researchers who wish to gain a fundamental understanding of how to use language to produce effective written and spoken English academic discourse. I believe this work will be highly influential in the field. - Yoon Namkung, Georgia State University, English for Specific Purposes
