The authors call this a beyond-text subject based approach and argue that this can more effectively help students. The book first outlines and describes a 'paradigm of linguistics' that sees support as being only possible through linguistics written text approaches. It then describes how the authors have found through their own research studies that such approaches do not go far enough to best support students. They offer alternatives and justify them theoretically and empirically, and also suggest ways in which others can use similar approaches to best support students in HE. This book will be of interest to practitioners, students, teachers and researchers in the fields of Applied Linguistics, TESOL, English Medium Instruction (EMI), EAP and language education policy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNick Pilcher\u003c\/b\u003e is a lecturer at Edinburgh Napier University, UK.
