Abstract:

A field-defining survey of research in the rapidly growing field of
English for Specific Purposes, now in its second edition
The Handbook of English for Specific Purposes provides an up-to-date
account of the origins, development, current state, and future
directions in the study of English as used in its specific contexts,
including medical English, business English, and academic English.
Featuring research from leading authorities, this comprehensive volume
addresses all key aspects of ESP, including speaking, reading,
writing, legal English, nursing, assessment, intercultural rhetoric,
multimodality, English as a lingua franca, and ethnography.
The second edition of the Handbook is fully revised to incorporate new
areas of ESP research and reflects changing demands on English
Language Learners (ELL), including a new historical overview of the
field by Prof. Vijay K. Bhatia and entirely new chapters English
medium instruction and ESP research, materials development, teacher
development, call center communication, Global Englishes and
translanguaging, identity, and the emergence of digital genres.
Unmatched in its breadth and depth of coverage, The Handbook of
English for Specific Purposes:
Features original state-of-the-art reviews relevant to scholars and
students working across applied linguistics and education
Features contributions by scholars working on ESP in a wide range of
international contexts
Addresses current and emerging challenges in ESP, with implications
for related fields of TESOL and English language education more
broadly
Includes in-depth reviews of new ESP research findings and suggestions
for further scholarship
Part of the Wiley Blackwell Handbooks in Linguistics series, The
Handbook of English for Specific Purposes, Second Edition, is an
essential reference for upper-level undergraduate and graduate
students, scholars, researchers, and educators working in TESOL,
ELL/ELT, applied linguistics, and language studies.
