Contexts of English in Use: Past and Present

The present volume is a supplement of FACHSPRACHE, the International Journal of LSP, research, didactics, terminology, which is dedicated to Peter Bierbaumer, one of its editors. The present volume addresses a range of diverse contexts of English: historical perspectives on English, the use of English for Specific Purposes, and English Language Teaching in a variety of settings from schools to specialised adult education. It contains contributions from scholars and practitioners working in these contexts, and thus provides readers with a unique collection of papers, bridging the gap between the ivory tower of academia and the practical world of language teaching and learning.
