Zusatztext With an emphasis on authentic academic discourse, Linguistic Approaches in EAP expertly brings a diverse range of theoretical approaches to both challenge and inspire EAP practitioners. This is more than simply putting theory into practice – it’s transformative! Informationen zum Autor Milada Walková is Lecturer in EAP at the University of Leeds, UK. She has also taught students and/or university teachers at universities in Slovakia, Indonesia and France. Her research interests include linguistic aspects of academic writing, scholarship of EAP and EAP materials development. Klappentext This edited volume brings together researchers and practitioners who work in various linguistic frameworks and EAP contexts, with contributions from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, Sweden, UAE, the UK, Ukraine and the USA. It extends existing linguistic research further by applying theories and approaches and by investigating genres that have received little attention in EAP so far, such as Complex Dynamic Systems Theory, Grice's Cooperative Principle and the article comments and university seminar genres, amongst others. The volume provides linguistic description of both student and expert genres and provides clear pedagogical implications, in the form of teaching recommendations, suggested teaching activities, evaluation of teaching materials or a practical methodological approach. Overall, by focusing on new areas of linguistic research in EAP, the volume enhances teaching practice and inspires further research and scholarship.
