About the Book

How are language and disciplinary knowledge connected in the English for Legal Purposes (ELP) classroom, and how far should ELP practitioners go in supporting students' acquisition of the conceptual frameworks that shape the genres they are learning? This book presents a pedagogical model for incorporating these conceptual frameworks into disciplinary language instruction and follows four focal participants as they learn to read and write new genres in a second language and disciplinary culture. By examining not just students' written texts, but also their reading practices and interactions in class and in tutoring sessions, the book traces the ways in which disciplinary knowledge and language interact as students develop academic literacy in a new disciplinary community. Throughout the book, the discipline of law is used as a lens for examining broader connections between language, culture and disciplinary knowledge, and their relevance for English for Specific Purposes and writing in the disciplines.

Review :
An innovative and significant addition to current thinking in English for Legal Communication, proposing a discursive pedagogic model integrating concepts, practice, and culture in legal settings. An excellent resource for ESP researchers and practitioners. Vijay K. Bhatia, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong This innovative book examines the development of disciplinary discourse and knowledge in the field of law using concept-based instruction. Alissa Hartig presents a compelling, well-theorized multiple-case study of the academic and linguistic socialization of international graduate students into legal reading, writing, and reasoning in their new textual communities and cultures. Patricia A. Duff, University of British Columbia, Canada
