Reviews
“Language for Specific Purposes is an excellent resource for readers interested in LSP from the perspective of study, practice or research. With its well-researched discussion of key topics and unique examples from all over the world, this book has something to offer for both novices and those with previous knowledge of LSP. … Language for Specific Purposes remains a valuable resource for those interested in language testing and assessment within the field of LSP.” (Adam Koschade, Papers in Language Testing and Assessment, Vol. 5 (2), 2016)
