Extract

Five years ago book-length studies of the craft of English for Specific Purposes comprsied Munby's Communicative Syllabus Design (1978) and Robinson's ESP (English for Specific Purposes) (1980), substantive additions to this very short list had been made by widdowson (1984), Kennedy and Bolitho (1984), McDonough (1984), Trimble (1985), and Hutchinson and task-orinented collections of papers (Swales 1985b, Peterson 1986), several conference proceedings (e.g., Tickoo 1986) and comprehensive survey articles such as that by Maher (1986) on English for Medical Purposes. Nor has there been any abatement in the steady stream of ESP-related articles, papers, theses, and monographs.
