Making Language Visible in the University

This volume scrutinises the role of English for Academic Purposes within the university. Through careful and thought-provoking analysis, it reveals a worrying disconnect, but also provides strategies for closing the gap, to the benefit of all stakeholders. This book can inform EAP practitioners' understanding of the role of their subject and should be required reading for all university administrators.

Bond proposes a range of targeted and important interventions to help postgraduate international students succeed in English-medium universities. Based on her long experience in the field and her recent detailed research, she provides much-needed insights for both teachers of academic English and disciplinary staff. This book is essential reading for anyone involved in the recruitment, support or teaching of international students at university level.

This book is a timely and thought-provoking study in an area of higher education teaching which is insufficiently researched. It is an insightful, substantial and engaging contribution to our understanding of the international university, the role of language in the curriculum and the issues of identity for EAP practitioners.

* Sarah Brewer, University of Reading, UK *

This timely publication should be read by everyone who is involved in language teaching, internationalisation and higher education teaching and learning e a deliberately broad recommendation that underlines its achievements [...] Making Language Visible in the University feels throughout like a book written for ‘us’ with huge potential for an external audience, as opposed to what frequently feels like vice versa. For that alone, Bond is to be praised for
no mean feat.
