Abstract:

More than ever, professional English is now cruising towards an enormous
challenge in the European university context due to the extremely
significant moment we are living in the European Higher Education Area
(EHEA). The European convergence process is demanding immediate
reflections, serious analyses, and profound reforms in specialized language
teaching that lead to reach Bologna standards by 2010.
This book aims to present an overview of professional English in the
current academic landscape in Europe. It intends to shed light on a range
of issues, both theoretical and practical, related to ESP, focusing on
discourse analysis, corpus analysis, information and communication
technologies, methodological approaches, curriculum design, and empirical
research into language learning in broad terms. Because teachers need to be
researchers and inquirers, this overview thus makes a contribution to the
professional English field with the purpose of highlighting several
important questions in the entire ESP academic mainstream. Scholars from
different European universities explore specialized languages and document
ESP teaching methodologies at university levels from a multidimensional
perspective.

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $65,000. This money will go to help 
keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

See below for donation instructions, and don't forget to check out our Space Fund 
Drive 2010 and join us for a great journey!

http://linguistlist.org/fund-drive/2010/

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form at  
https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later. To do so, go to: 
https://linguistlist.org/donation/pledge/pledge1.cfm

For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how to 
donate by check, money order, or wire transfer, please visit:

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return 
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact 
your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple 
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
