"One of the most comprehensive, innovative and currently relevant accounts of ESP integrating a multi-perspective genre-based approach to theory and practice - indispensable for teachers and practitioners in the field."¿¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ Vijay K Bhatia , Chinese University of Hong Kong "This is a book whose time has definitely come. Those who teach disciplinary (or discipline-ready) discourse to English language learners will likely welcome what it offers: a research-informed rationale for and practitioner-friendly guidance in how to prepare students for the diverse audiences they will face and the multimodal literacies they will need in an increasingly digital and plurilingual world." Diane D. Belcher , Georgia State University, USA "ESP course designers, teachers and researchers will find this book a fascinating and important account of how English in the disciplines is being reshaped as digital media assumes a central role in facilitating communication across genres, audiences and contexts. Through a case study analysis of a project-based approach to ESP course design, the authors show how an ESP course can engage learners in exploring and creating digital literary practices relevant to different disciplinary communities. In the process, learners develop communicative and literacy skills that support learning in their disciplines as well as develop knowledge and skills that will serve them in their future careers." Jack C Richards , Regional English Language Centre, Singapore.
