Language teaching theory & methods; ELT: English for academic purposes; Teaching of students with English as a second language (TESOL)

This book bridges the gap between theory and practice in the teaching of academic writing within English for Academic Purposes (EAP). Reviewing existing research on the language of academic writing and drawing respective pedagogical implications, the book focuses on the key issues of theoretical frameworks relevant to teaching academic writing, core written academic genres, the integration of language and content, textual organization and interaction, and formative feedback on writing. The author richly illustrates its key themes with authentic examples from student and expert writing, points out common myths and controversies in the teaching of academic writing, and identifies gaps in current research. To demonstrate how theoretical knowledge on academic writing can be applied in teaching practice, Milada Walková provides examples of suggested teaching activities for a variety of learner levels and contexts. The book serves as a comprehensive yet accessible resource for both novice and experienced EAP practitioners involved in the teaching and scholarship of academic writing.

Reviews for Teaching Academic Writing for EAP: Language Foundations for Practitioners

Challenges a full range of theoretical concepts in academic writing while also providing useful activities that can be used directly with students in class. A highly unusual combination of theory and practice that will be of value to teachers, researchers and students in equal measure. -- Melinda Whong, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong
