Recenzii
Ken Hyland, University of East Anglia, UK
"Laurence Anthony's very useful contribution to the ESP literature is accessible and interactive. It offers broad-ranging coverage of both ESP contexts and ways of responding to them. Although a relatively slim volume, it is by no means a slight one."
John M. Swales, University of Michigan, USA
"Introducing English for Specific Purposes is an accessible and comprehensive introduction to ESP, balancing both pedagogy and research. The text’s candid and friendly prose will be useful in introducing truly novice readers to the field of ESP, particularly undergraduates and pre-service teachers studying in a TESL/TEFL program."
Erin Todey, The Electronic Journal for English as a Second Language
"The writing style of this book is direct and friendly. The language is clear and concise. The regular pattern in each chapter enables readers either to read chapter by chapter to develop a coherent view, or to read selectively to meet their current needs. To sum up, Anthony has written an informative and resourceful book, offering a contemporary and comprehensive view of ESP. […] It deserves a place on the bookshelves of graduate students in applied linguistics, language teachers or ESP administrators."
Qiong Li & Jianying DU, System 82 (2019)
