This volume addresses the implications that academic
interdisciplinarity in the field of English for Academic Purposes
(EAP) and English for Specific Purposes (ESP) has for research and
pedagogy with a global reach. The Editors present a coherent,
research-supported analysis of the influence of interdisciplinary
research and methods on the way academics collaborate on courses,
develop their careers, and teach students. The hitherto prevalence
of disciplinary silo-like approaches to academic and scientific
issues is increasingly ceding ground to an interdisciplinary
synergy of different methodological and epistemological traditions.
In the context of ongoing trends towards interdisciplinarity in
degree programmes and the increasing popularity of such degree
programmes with students (e.g., bioinformatics, computational
linguistics, psycholinguistics, neuropolitics, evolutionary
finance, global studies, and security studies), academics and
programme administrators need awareness of the skills needed to
operate in interdisciplinary contexts. Studies in this edited
volume examine interdisciplinary communication practices, and
identify how academic writing, teaching, language proficiency
assessment and degree programmes are responding to changes in the
broader social, institutional and political contexts of academia.
As authors in the volume demonstrate, the discursive features,
literacy practices and instructional modes, and the student
experience of these emerging interdisciplines deserve systematic
exploration. This insightful volume sheds light on contexts across
the globe and will be used by students studying EAP and ESP
pedagogy or practice; academics in the fields of applied
linguistics and higher education, as well as higher education
faculty and administrators interested in interdisciplinarity in
degree programmes.
Doing a Research Project in English Studies is the essential guide
to undertaking research and developing academic English literacy
skills for students new to research. With a particular focus on the
needs of students in contexts where English is used as a foreign or
an additional language, this accessible textbook takes the reader
through the research process in five main sections: getting started
(arriving at a topic, interacting with a supervisor); finding
bibliographic resources; collecting data; developing academic
writing skills; preparing for the oral defence. Each chapter
contains exercises; the answer key facilitates independent study
throughout. Extracts from published research articles provide
invaluable illustration of the features of academic writing. This
is a must-have resource for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate
students embarking on a research project in English studies.
