Märksõnad:
This book proposes a constructionist experiential learner-enhanced teaching (CELET) strategy for English for academic purposes (EAP) settings. This macrostrategy considers disciplinary specificity for teaching English to advanced students and aims at providing inspirational examples for ESP and EAP professionals in higher education.

This book offers a macrostrategy for teaching English as a foreign language to students in tertiary degree programmes. This teaching strategy has been developed from various methodological currents in higher education and language didactics. The volume provides inspiration, ideas and practical examples for ESP and EAP professionals anywhere in the world and hopes to motivate learners across disciplines. It takes subject-specific requirements into consideration and is a methodology handbook open to the diversity of EAP teaching contexts. It may serve as a textbook in applied linguistics, English studies and teacher education.
