About this book
Applying a unique combination of ethnography and phenomenology, the book offers innovative new perspectives on teacher education research. Drawing on the latest language education theory, it outlines a practitioner-friendly approach to EAP literacy. Teacher readers will especially benefit from the case studies presented here, which provide role models for teacher change in educational reform, as well as advice on their academic careers. In addition to addressing a timely and important research gap on EAP teachers in non-Western countries, the book is the ideal choice for readers interested in an update on English education in China.

Reviews
“This book by Yulong Li is a timely contribution to aid our understanding ... . this book succeeds in enriching our understanding of EAP as multiple literacies ... . All in all, it is foreseeable that more universities and practitioners in China will reform the CET curriculum through offering EAP courses, and this book will be relevant and even inspiring to them. We also recommend it to EAP teachers, researchers and policy makers in similar contexts.” (Nana Long, Journal ofEnglish for Academic Purposes, Vol. 55, January, 2022)
