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

Rezensionen / Stimmen

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 today's 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 * The book is a valuable resource for educators and researchers navigating the intersection of EMI and ESP. One of its greatest strengths is its comprehensive approach, offering insights from multiple disciplines and presenting both theoretical discussions and practical applications. Additionally, its accessible structure makes it suitable for both newcomers to the field and experienced scholars. * Maria Angeles Velilla Sanchez, ESP Today, Vol. 13(2) 2025 *
