Abstract:

How are language and disciplinary knowledge connected in the English for Legal
Purposes (ELP) classroom, and how far should ELP practitioners go in
supporting students’ acquisition of the conceptual frameworks that shape the
genres they are learning? This book presents a pedagogical model for
incorporating these conceptual frameworks into disciplinary language
instruction and follows four focal participants as they learn to read and
write new genres in a second language and disciplinary culture. By examining
not just students’ written texts, but also their reading practices and
interactions in class and in tutoring sessions, the book traces the ways in
which disciplinary knowledge and language interact as students develop
academic literacy in a new disciplinary community. Throughout the book, the
discipline of law is used as a lens for examining broader connections between
language, culture and disciplinary knowledge, and their relevance for English
for Specific Purposes and writing in the disciplines.
