A field-defining survey of research in the rapidly growing field of English for Specific Purposes, now in its second edition

The Handbook of English for Specific Purposes provides an up-to-date account of the origins, development, current state, and future directions in the study of English as used in its specific contexts, including medical English, business English, and academic English. Featuring research from leading authorities, this comprehensive volume addresses all key aspects of ESP, including speaking, reading, writing, legal English, nursing, assessment, intercultural rhetoric, multimodality, English as a lingua franca, and ethnography.

The second edition of the Handbook is fully revised to incorporate new areas of ESP research and reflects changing demands on English Language Learners (ELL), including a new historical overview of the field by Prof. Vijay K. Bhatia and entirely new chapters English medium instruction and ESP research, materials development, teacher development, call center communication, Global Englishes and translanguaging, identity, and the emergence of digital genres. Unmatched in its breadth and depth of coverage, The Handbook of English for Specific Purposes:

  • Features original state-of-the-art reviews relevant to scholars and students working across applied linguistics and education
  • Features contributions by scholars working on ESP in a wide range of international contexts
  • Addresses current and emerging challenges in ESP, with implications for related fields of TESOL and English language education more broadly
  • Includes in-depth reviews of new ESP research findings and suggestions for further scholarship

Part of the Wiley Blackwell Handbooks in Linguistics series, The Handbook of English for Specific Purposes, Second Edition, is an essential reference for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, scholars, researchers, and educators working in TESOL, ELL/ELT, applied linguistics, and language studies.
