The volume states that the practices of EAP are, in fact, political acts and examines these as yet unexplored power dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe volume begins by considering key influences that have shaped universities and their governance and management over the last three decades and how these relate to the role and practice of EAP. These influences include neoliberal economic policies, governmental demands for widening participation, globalization, entrepreneurial approaches to higher education, students as clients, and therapeutism in universities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing consideration of these broader contextual issues, specific chapters focus on politics and policies surrounding the recruitment and participation of international, fee-paying students, their positioning and identity within English-medium universities, including issues relating to English language, standards, and academic integrity. Further chapters then consider more local influences that shape EAP programmes, such as their strategic roles within universities, their management, their teaching, and wider academic impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596050088172,"sku":"9781350230491","price":137.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781350230491-contextualizing-english-for-academic-purposes-in-higher-education.jpg?v=1777914504"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/series-new-perspectives-for-english-for-academic-purposes.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
