This book is published open access. The field of English for
Academic Purposes (EAP) developed to address the needs of students
whose mother tongue is not English. However, the linguistic
competence required to achieve academic success at any university
where English is the medium of instruction is a challenge for all
students. While there are linguistic features common to academic
literacy as a general genre, closer investigation reveals
significant differences from one academic field to another. This
volume asks what good writing is within specific disciplines,
focussing on student work. Each chapter provides key insights by
EAP professionals, based on their research in which they bring
together analysis of student writing and interviews with subject
specialists and markers who determine what ‘good writing’ is in
their discipline. The volume includes chapters on established
disciplines which have had less attention in the EAP and academic
writing literature to date, including music, formal linguistics,
and dentistry, as well as new and growing fields of study such as
new media. The ebook editions of this book are available open
