The 6 Principles for Exemplary Teaching of English Learners: Academic

Adults learn English for concrete reasons: to follow a university lecture, write a lab report, handle a negotiation or simply get on with life in a new country. Sherry Blok's volume in TESOL International Association's 6 Principles series turns its attention to English for Specific Purposes, the field that serves those learners and has grown in importance as globalisation pushes more people to raise their English for study and work.

A compact, practical guide for teachers and programme leaders working with adult learners, especially in academic and professional settings, who want sound principles they can carry straight into the classroom.
