Studying language, discourses, and contexts of use--as well as
student needs, in the broadest sense--and "then "applying these
findings to the pedagogical practices, is what distinguishes ESP
from other branches of applied linguistics and language teaching.
The fundamental arguments in this volume are that ESP researchers
must use all of the tools available to systematically assess the
needs, identities, and issues faced by learners and the language
and discourses of their contexts--as well as the "frames" brought
to the context by the researchers themselves. In addition, ESP
researchers must continue to develop the convergence between
research, teaching, and learning as the profession continues to
advance. This volume has two parts: Issues in ESP Research, which
includes chapters by Ken Hyland, Brian Paltridge and Wei Wang, An
Cheng, Diane Belcher and Lauren Lukkarila, and Anna Mauranen, and
Methodologies and ESP Research, which includes chapters by John
Flowerdew, Christine Tardy, Sue Starfield, Ann Johns and Leketi
Makalela, Lynne Flowerdew, and Magdi Kandil and Diane Belcher.
Fittingly, John Swales, the father of ESP and author of "Episodes
of ESP," has contributed some remarks to close this important
volume about the future of ESP.
