The English for Academic Purposes Practitioner: Operating on the Edge of Academia (1st ed. 2017 edition.)

Contextualizes the field of English for Academic Purposes (EAP), with a particular focus on the professional and academic identity and role of the EAP practitioner.

The authors examine previously neglected areas such as the socio-economic, academic and employment contexts within which EAP practitioners function.

In doing so, they develop a better understanding of the roles, expectations and constraints that arise from these contexts, which in turn shape professional practice and the identity of the practitioner.
