Opis

Introducing Course Design in English for Specific Purposes presents ESP teaching from both theoretical and practical perspectives and provides real-world guidance on course design and implementation.

Recenzje

A definite advantage of the volume is that its transparent structure makes it easy to read and navigate for less experienced readers – for example students or teachers who are taking their first steps in the realm of ESP.

The last section, which offers a range of authentic examples of course designs, is very rare in the subject literature and thus is extremely valuable.

Without any doubt, the book meets the reader’s expectations and fills an existing gap in ESP literature, providing necessary support for those who are starting their work as ESP teachers as well as those who already have experience in the field and would like to refresh or extend their knowledge on ESP course design.
