English for Vocational Purposes provides a linguistic description
of English in the context of the trades and investigates how this
specialist language is used in real-world contexts. As the demand
for English-speaking workers in the trades grows internationally, a
major gap in the research on language in the trades is evident.
Based on courses in construction and engineering at a polytechnic
in New Zealand, this book offers an empirical response to this gap
in research. Features of this book include: new research on
linguistic features of written and spoken texts in trades
education, with a special focus on discourse, visual elements of
written texts and vocabulary; real-life examples of the language in
context, along with implications for teaching and learning and a
chapter devoted to putting research findings into practice;
qualitative and quantitative data to support examples and shed
light on the most complex aspects of English as a trades language;
supplementary material online which includes technical word lists
in areas of carpentry, plumbing, automotive technology and
fabrication (welding). Paving the way for a new research agenda in
the field of ESP, English for Vocational Purposes is key reading
for advanced students, researchers and practitioners in the areas
of ESP, trades education and vocational education.
