Hardback. Condición: New. This volume provides insights into EAP practitioners' identity and agency in varied contexts and field positions. Each chapter delves into a theoretical perspective (Bourdieu's field theory, Post-humanism, Legitimation Code Theory, Symbolic Interactionism.), and a variety of methodologies, enabling different questions to be explored. Each chapter is also a window into the everyday life of practitioners as they navigate their professional lives, and the specificities of their EAP contexts, the politics and struggles over power, domination, legitimacy, status, ambition and recognition. The authors' concerns and strategies vary and show that the weight of powerful structures and collective habitus is difficult - but not impossible- to resist. From a socio-analysis of EAP and its narratives of origins, to a discussion on Ethics in EAP and a critique of the Global South label, the reader will explore contributions from Canada, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Pakistan, Singapore, South Africa, the UK, and Zimbabwe.The chapters reveal a field which is made up of a constellation of worlds, each with its own logic but importantly, a field with no centre. The studies in the chapters are likely to intrigue, inspire, but also disrupt some readers' expectations and challenge their assumptions about the field and its practitioners.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This book provides an insightful series of windows into the identity of the English for Academic Purposes (EAP) practitioner in a range of cultural contexts across the world. With contributions from Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Pakistan, Singapore, South Africa, the UK, and Zimbabwe, each chapter combines theoretical underpinnings with practical applications, and implements suggestions and recommendations for how EAP teachers' roles can be taken forward. In a globalised world where EAP practice plays an increasingly important role, the reader comes face to face with the challenges and possibilities facing those who are supporting academic language development within higher education (HE) frameworks. This involves considerations of power dynamics, of differing perceptions of power and identity within an EAP unit and across an HE institution. The study also discusses how the field can be enriched through a deeper understanding of issues of agency and identity that emerge from challenges facing EAP practitioners who work in contexts beyond the hegemonic West. Drawing on ethnographic data, the contributors present a broad set of strategies for countering disciplinary marginalisation and employment precarity, concluding with a call for enhanced critical research into the lived experience of EAP professionals, as a key avenue for effecting change.
