This book's innovative approach proposes Language for Teaching Purposes as a distinct field of enquiry and practice within Language for Specific Purposes. It uses robust theoretical and empirical evidence to demonstrate the specificity of language used by teachers teaching language, and the complex decisions teachers make around language choice and use in language classrooms. These complexities are shown to affect Non-native Speaker Language Teachers in particular so that their language needs must be met in teacher training programmes. Set in the Anglophone foreign language teaching world, this book will appeal to anyone involved in teacher training, language teaching or the investigation of classroom discourse.

Emma Riordan is Lecturer in German and Applied Linguistics at University College Cork, Ireland. She has been a native speaking teacher of English and non-native speaking teacher of German for 15 years. Her research interests include language teaching and learning, discourse analysis, language policy and language teacher training.
