This book critically refines and adds depth to current
understandings and practices in EAP (English for Academic Purposes)
and EMI (English-Medium Instruction), using empirical research
examining the experiences of English language learning and use of
undergraduate and postgraduate international students in the UK.
The author illuminates the language learning that takes place in
and around English-medium higher education settings, both formally
and informally, with a specific focus on courses with a creative or
professional practice orientation. Drawing on theoretical insights
from socio-cultural Second Language Acquisition, this volume
capitalises on the synergies between applied linguistics and higher
education research to paint a richer picture of the interactions
facilitating student growth as confident and competent
communicators in globalised academic and professional settings.
Considering the broader implications of language development
initiatives, this volume will be of interest to students and
scholars of applied linguistics, English as a Second Language and
second language acquisition.
