Review

This is a challenging and engaging book...This is a valuable introduction to EAP from a critical perspective. In presenting and questioning EAP principles and practice, it offers thought-provoking reading for continuing and intending teachers.
—Journal of English for Academic Purposes

In this short volume, Benesch makes a timely and useful contribution to emerging debates about future directions for English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and for ESL classes in university settings...Benesch deserves considerable credit for the way in which she has opened a valuable conversation between traditional and critical EAP.
—SSLA

The book is well produced and presented....this is a book of its time, and should be essential reading for EAP practitioners, who will find much here that is both stimulating and challenging.

—Eurospan

An extremely welcome contribution to the debate about the future direction of ESP and EAP. Benesch is careful to restrict her discussion to EAP, but I believe that the ideas are relevant to the whole ESP movement. Whereas discussions of critical theory, critical discourse, and critical pedagogy have tended to be largely abstract, this book draws very fully and very effectively on ESP situations in New York that will be very familiar, at least to those working with non-native speakers of English studying in an English-language medium setting....Furthermore, the stance is not one of rejecting all current ESP practice but, rather, of suggesting that ESP can carry out its stated aims more fully and raise its status within the academy by engaging with issues of power and struggle that arise in classrooms and institutions....Benesch's contribution to ESP...represents an important and radical departure from mainstream approaches.

—Tony Dudley-Evans
The University of Birmingham, United Kingdom, From the Foreword

One of the author's greatest strengths...which makes her work unique among proponents of critical pedagogy, is her ability and willingness to show how a critical pedagogical approach works in a real class...I very much appreciate the tone--respectful yet challenging and at the same time not written in impenetrable jargon....I'm very enthusiastic about this book and feel it will become quite influential in the field.
—Ilona Leki
University of Tennessee

It is quite rare to find a book that moves so expertly and dialogically between theory and practice. Benesch is impressive and thorough in the weaving together of different conceptual strands (e.g., EAP, ESP, critical pedagogy) that underpin her highly original and effective pedagogy....The grounded and intimate picture of students and teachers...nicely complements the challenging theoretical issues that introduce the book....In sum, a timely contribution to emerging, interdisciplinary approaches in language education.
