Introducing English for Academic Purposes is an accessible and engaging textbook, which introduces this field from its early development to its manifestations in classrooms and research contexts around the world. Each chapter provides:

- an orientation section covering the basics of EAP;

- a critical overview of theory- and research-informed perspectives;

- profiles of practice so readers can understand how theory can be put to use in real world contexts;

- tasks, reflection exercises, further reading, and online resources.

Covering both theoretical and practical issues, Introducing English for Academic Purposes is essential reading for students, pre-service and in-service teachers studying this subject.
