EAP Essentials: A teacher's guide to principles and practice

With the increase in students joining academic English-language courses, the teaching of English for Academic Purposes is a rapidly expanding profession. There are, however, few specialist handbooks for the practising teacher in this fi eld.
EAP Essentials: a teacher’s guide to principles and practice is grounded in the authors’ extensive practical experience in the EAP classroom. It bridges the gap between the theory and practice of EAP teaching, by distilling the insights from recent research into ideas that can be applied in teaching and materials development.
EAP Essentials builds confi dence through a range of practical tasks and by providing case studies of real teachers and students. This enables the teacher to refl ect on best practice and identify ways to develop their own teaching skills.
EAP Essentials offers original and practical ideas appropriate to a wide variety of contexts. The accompanying free Classroom Materials also provide a large number of well-trialled materials that can be copied for use within the classroom.
The book contains ten chapters, each one underpinned by up-to-date research, and backed up with a list of recommended further reading.
