    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Covering course areas such as planning, implementation, assessment, pedagogy, classroom management, professional development and research, it is indispensable for teachers, researchers, students.

    ?The book is clearly organized and user-friendly throughout with concise writing. Each chapter begins with bullet points of what the chapter will accomplish, highlights key concepts and quotes from prominent scholars with different perspectives, and ends with concluding comments and discussion questions for further thinking. ? Language for Specific Purposes can be used as required or supplemental reading material for graduate-level courses and is highly recommended to all scholars interested in learning more about LSP.? (Sayaka Morita, JALT Journal, Vol. 39 (1), May, 2017)

    ?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.?
