Books Descriptions
This book focuses on the nexus of language, disciplinary content and
knowledge communication against the background of the economic, cultural
and ideological forces of Higher Education's current push for
internationalisation. It suggests the need for a greater synergy between
language and content experts and argues that change needs to be
implemented through policy rather than on an ad-hoc basis by individual
teachers. It is a call to action for English for Academic Purposes
practitioners to find a way out of the silo of their own centres and work
to assert influence over the wider context in which they work. The book
begins and ends in the practice of teaching, with a focus throughout on
understanding the barriers and enablers to that practice within a
particular context.
