Directions for the Future Issues in English for Academic Purposes

The papers comprising this volume are selected from presentations made at the 2001 Conference of the British Association of Lecturers in English for Academic Purposes, which was held at the University of Strathclyde (in Glasgow, Scotland). The role of EAP (English for Academic Purposes) is increasingly important, as higher education institutions consider their linguistic support strategies (both for native and non-native speakers of English), and confront the potential of the world wide web as a scholarly and pedagogic resource. The articles collected consider EAP - as an international profession--from a number of vital and relevant perspectives including practical pedagogy, research, and the impact of new technology.British Association of Lecturers in English for Academic Purposes, Conference Staff is the author of 'Directions for the Future Issues in English for Academic Purposes', published 2004 under ISBN 9783039100590 and ISBN 3039100599.
