Current Developments in English for Academic, Specific and Occupational Purposes

Current Developments in English for Academic, Specific and Occupational Purposes Current Developments in English for Academic, Specific and Occupational Purposes is a collection of papers which reflect the diversity and multiplicity of strands that international EAP and ESP practitioners of the 21st century are engaged in across all the continents.

Most of the papers in the book are contributions of the members of the ESP SIG at IATEFL (although there are a couple of 'guest' submissions), and were presented at the IATEFL Conferences in Cardiff (2005) and Harrogate (2006).

The IATEFL ESP SIG hopes that the book proves a useful compendium for teachers, lecturers, teacher trainers, trainees and students of TESOL, ELT or Applied Linguistics.

The ESP Special Interest Group (SIG) is one of the fourteen SIGs at IATEFL, and its main focus is on English for Specific Purposes, English for Academic Purposes and English for Occupational/Professional Purposes. The main objective of the SIG is to disseminate good practice in ESP (as well as in EAP and EO/PP) through its membership and to promote models of excellence in ESP to ELT professionals internationally through workshops, seminars and conferences and through publishing the output in our Journal and in leading international ELT journals and periodicals.
