Produktbeschreibung

This volume provides an important contribution to the study of vocabulary and its relationship to English for Specific Purposes (ESP) research and teaching.

This book features:

• An analysis of material in a range of different contexts that include secondary school education, pre-university and university-based education, professional and occupational ESP, and the trades.
• inclusion of many examples of specialised vocabulary from research in Aotearoa/New Zealand and from many other areas in the world.
• a review of the application of vocabulary research to professional and pedagogical practice
• suggestions for future directions for research.

Written by a leading researcher, Vocabulary and English for Specific Purposes Research provides key reading for those working in this area.
