"Workplace Discourse provides an accessible and thought-provoking introduction to spoken and written workplace language. Koester draws upon a wide-range of diverse data sources and highlights the value of an approach that combines genre analysis and corpus linguistics. This publication will be a valuable resource for students, teachers and researchers working in the areas of discourse analysis, corpus linguistics, English language teaching and intercultural communication." "Workplace Discourse is a rich addition to the existing body of work on workplace talk. It provides a comprehensive overview of the field to date and brings together a wide range of methods and analytical approaches. With its well selected examples and practical advice on applications of research for teaching and training purposes it will prove a valuable resource for both students and experienced researchers but also everyone interested on the distinctive characteristics of workplace discourse." "Workplace Discourse doesn't disappoint... This is a book about research that's relevant in business English classrooms... you'll discover hidden gems that you didn't know about too. It would also be great a great read for new teachers who want to find out about communities of practice, discourse communities, genre, etc." - Business Issues
