Discipline-Specific Writing provides an introduction and guide for students and trainee teachers on how to teach this topic.

Writing remains a central area of learning, research and teaching at the university but the focus is now on discipline-specific writing and it is recognised that it is a critical area of study and competence for all students. This book provides comprehensive coverage of this subject including contextual backgrounds, course design, language features, specific disciplinary focusses, genre, corpus-based approaches, critical approaches, and assessment.

This book is key reading for students taking courses in English for Specific Purposes, Applied Linguistics, TESOL, TEFL and CELTA.
