The context for the teaching and learning of English for specific
disciplinary purposes is undergoing profound changes under the
influence of economic globalization and new digital communication
technologies. English in the Disciplines demonstrates how
fundamental principles of ESP, to tailor language learning
materials to the needs of specific groups of learners, can be
adapted to new contexts of learning in the digital age. Based on
sustained research into students' experiences in an ESP context in
Hong Kong, this volume provides an empirically grounded and
practical methodology to ESP learning and course design and
features: * mixed-method case studies; * links between theory and
practice, with plentiful examples of teaching materials and
learning activities; * recognition of the effect of new
technologies and globalization on the practice of ESP, highlighting
problems and providing practical solutions; * a new pedagogical
model for ESP course design, addressing multiple dimensions
relevant to today's ESP learners including learner autonomy, genre,
multimodality and digital literacies, plurilingual practices, and
project-based learning and collaboration. English in the
Disciplines provides key reading for anyone studying and
researching this topic.
