Approaches to Specialised Discourse in Higher Education and Professional Contexts
Approaches to Specialised Discourse in Higher Education and Professional Contexts brings together a number of studies by various authors in the common field of languages for specific purposes (LSP).

Demystifying Corpus Linguistics for English Language Teaching
The aim of this edited volume is to demystify corpus linguistics for use in English language teaching (ELT). It advocates the inclusion of corpus linguistics in the classroom as part of an approach to ELT in which students engage with naturally occurring language. The first chapter provides a basic but essential introduction to corpus linguistics, including sections on corpora and corpus methods, and this is followed by a review of the use of corpus linguistics in ELT. Chapters on the traditional ELT strands of skills, vocabulary and grammar as well as chapters on pluricentric approaches (on language and culture, World Englishes and English as a Lingua Franca) flow naturally from the second ...
Teaching Communication across Disciplines for Professional Development, Civic Engagement, and Beyond
In Teaching Communication Across Disciplines for Professional Development, Civic Engagement, and Beyond, contributors discuss topics inherent in merging communication across disciplines, including challenges and opportunities, teaching and research, communication and student identity, future directions, and the transformative possibilities of teaching communication across disciplines. A cross-disciplinary approach provides an avenue for the integration of a broad education that prepares students for global citizenship and civic engagement. Ultimately, this book argues that positioning communication as a theoretically rich process of social interaction and meaning with attention to rhetorical sensitivity can expand the vision of communication across the disciplines. The increased demand for communication expertise opens opportunities for exploration, growth, community development, and cross-disciplinary alliances. Scholars of communication, English, and education will find this book of particular interest.
