Metadiscourse
This book addresses an important aspect of how language is used in written communication: the ways that writers reflect on their texts to refer to themselves, their readers or the text itself. This is known as METADISCOURSE. Metadiscourse is a key resource in language, as it allows the writer to engage with readers in familiar and expected ways. Writers use the devices of metadiscourse to adjust the level of personality in their texts, to offer a representation of themselves and their arguments. This helps the reader organise, interpret and evaluate the information presented in the text. Metadiscourse is therefore crucial to successful communication. Knowing how to identify metadiscourse as a reader is a key skill to be learnt by students of discourse analysis. Learning how to use metadiscourse in writing is an important tool for students of academic writing in both the L1 and L2 context. This book has four main purposes: - to provide an accessible introduction to metadiscourse, discussing its role and importance in written communication and reviewing current thinking on the topic. - to explore examples of metadiscourse in a range of texts from business, academic, journalistic, and student writing - to offer a new theory of metadiscourse - to show the relevance of this theory to students, academics and language teachers.
Teaching English for Academic Purposes
This book offers a helpful resource for English for Academic Purposes (EAP) practitioners, combining theoretical content with in-depth insights rooted in practice. EAP has a key role in preparing students for academic challenges in English-medium universities globally. With the increasing need for proficiency in academic English, there is a demand for a comprehensive resource that caters to instructors who are actively involved in or considering a career in the teaching of EAP. This book addresses this need through five clear thematic sections: the development of EAP practice and pedagogy, creating effective EAP courses, exploring linguistic issues, language skills, and EAP instruction, issues in assessment of learning and practice in EAP, and current perspectives in EAP. The volume features contributions from experts with extensive EAP teaching experience, research backgrounds, and scholarly publications. By drawing on their theoretical understanding and practical insights, the book will equip ELT professionals with essential knowledge, strategies, and practical approaches to tailor their instruction to the unique needs of EAP learners. It will also be of interest to teacher educators, students, and academics researching language teaching in English for Academic Purposes, English for Specific Purposes and English-Medium Instruction contexts.
