"Language for Specific Purposes" is a growth area in research and application in both academic and occupational settings. The book contains an overview of key concepts and research findings, grounded and analyzed in case studies from current teaching situations. A series of project reviews illustrate research methods, aiming to stimulate further research, and a guide to research resources is provided. In the process, teaching methods, materials, motivation, communicative language skills and subject specific requirements are discussed.

This book combines an authoritative examination of the field of discourse-based research with practical guidance on research design and development. The book is not prescriptive but instead invites expansive, innovative thinking about what discourse is, why it matters to people at particular sites and how it can be investigated. The authors identify a set of questions that, they argue, are crucial for understanding discourse. Part I of the book explores the implications of these questions, providing a comprehensive survey of relevant scholars, theories, concepts and methodologies. Part II addresses these implications, setting out a multi-perspectival approach to resourcing and integrating micro and macro perspectives in the description, interpretation and explanation of data. Part III offers wide-ranging resources to support further reflection and future research. Ultimately, this book offers a new research approach for students, researchers and practitioners in Applied Linguistics to encourage and support research that can be truly impactful through its relevance to social and professional practice.
