Developing Language Competence through English for Specific Purposes in English-Medium University Settings Summary

Developing Language Competence through English for Specific Purposes in English-Medium University Settings by Marta Aguilar-Perez

This book explores the interplay between English for specific purposes (ESP) and English-medium instruction (EMI), the complementary ways in which EMI and ESP are implemented in different contexts, as well as teaching and assessing challenges. Furthermore, it considers teaching practices used by ESP professionals and the kind of support given to EMI through ESP. The book makes a valuable contribution to the growing body of research around EMI and ESP by offering a combined study of the presence, practices, roles and impact of English in EMI and ESP in internationalised universities. Looking at the interplay between these two types of instruction, this volume provides an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to explore how universities can (1) benefit from ESP and EMI to enhance international skills among lecturers and students in an inclusive way, (2) examine the impact of ESP and EMI on the internationalisation of Higher Education institutions, and (3) assess the outcomes that result from institutionally bundling ESP and EMI as complementary internationalisation actions in a sustainable manner.

Developing Language Competence through English for Specific Purposes in English-Medium University Settings Reviews

In a university context in which ESP seems to be in competition with EMI, this volume is a timely contribution to underscore the limitations of one without the other. As the book chapters highlight, ESP has proven to be the best language support for EMI, and EMI provides the best practice for ESP.

* Inmaculada Fortanet-Gomez, Jaume I University, Spain *
This is an enlightening volume demonstrating the importance of ESP in EMI and convincingly arguing for the reappraisal of its role in todays EMI-driven tertiary education. Essential reading for course designers, ESP teachers and subject specialists as well as for the ESP and EMI research communities in general! * Nadezda Silaski, Editor-in-Chief of ESP Today *
This timely collection of studies conducted in different national contexts chimes with current scholarly debates surrounding ESP/EAP and EMI. The editors have done a brilliant job creating synergy between the two research fields and outlining avenues for collaboration. This book is an essential read for university teachers, researchers and policymakers. * Maria Kuteeva, Stockholm University, Sweden *
