Reviews

This is a very timely and insightful volume which explores the social theories which inform so much EAP research today. By clearly unpacking what is often only implicit and by showing the relevance of theory to classroom practice, this book should be required reading for all EAP researchers and teachers. --Ken Hyland, Visiting Professor, School of Education and Lifelong Learning, University of East Anglia, UK Social Theory for English for Academic Purposes makes a very valuable contribution to the EAP literature. This single volume provides a rare opportunity for researchers and practitioners in EAP to explore and expand their knowledge and appreciation of the diverse ways in which social theory is interpreted and practiced in relation to a shared focus. This potentially opens spaces for cross-disciplinary dialogue and intra-theoretical reflection to the benefit of the broad field of EAP. --Susan Hood, Honorary Associate Professor, Department of Linguistics, The University of Sydney, Australia
