Abstract:
In the United States today there is lively discussion, both among educators
and employers, about the best way to prepare students with high-level language
and cross-cultural communication proficiency that will serve them both
professionally and personally in the global environment of the twenty-first
century. At the same time, courses in business language and medical language
have become more popular among students. Language for Specific Purposes (LSP),
which encompasses these kinds of courses, responds to this discussion and
provides curricular models for language programs that build practical language
skills specific to a profession or field. Contributions in the book reinforce
those models with national survey results, demonstrating the demand for and
benefits of LSP instruction.
With ten original research-based chapters, this volume will be of interest to
high school and university language educators, program directors, linguists,
and anyone looking to design LSP courses or programs in any world language.
Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics
