This book highlights the centrality of political and ideological
issues as they relate to the positioning and practice of English
for Academic Purposes (EAP), demonstrating that EAP cannot flourish
as a profession or a discipline without an awareness of the macro-
and meso-level political shifts that impact the wider university.
The volume states that the practices of EAP are, in fact, political
acts and examines these as yet unexplored power dynamics. The
volume begins by considering key influences that have shaped
universities and their governance and management over the last
three decades and how these relate to the role and practice of EAP.
These influences include neoliberal economic policies, governmental
demands for widening participation, globalization, entrepreneurial
approaches to higher education, students as clients and
therapeutism in universities. Following consideration of these
broader contextual issues, specific chapters focus on politics and
policies surrounding the recruitment and participation of
international, fee-paying students, their positioning and identity
within English-medium universities, including issues relating to
English language, standards and academic integrity. Further
chapters then consider more local influences that shape EAP
programmes, such as their strategic roles within universities,
their management, their teaching and wider academic impact.
