Reviews

A stimulating and at times provocative discussion of the prescient issues, questions, and challenges associated with EAP. Bell re-examines older claims about the distinctive features of EAP against today’s backdrop, and provides his own insightful perspectives, surfacing key issues and debates today’s EAP practitioner-researchers need to consider. This book will be a valuable resource for newer and more experienced EAP practitioner-researchers alike. * Nigel Harwood, University of Sheffield, UK * This book charts the development of EAP as a field of practice and inquiry, provides a fascinating tour of its current landscape, and offers thought-provoking projections about its future. It does an excellent job of informing about, and inviting critical engagement with, key issues in the EAP field. * Guangwei Hu, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University *
