There are, however, few specialist handbooks for the practising teacher in this field. ; EAP Essentials: a teacher's guide to principles and practice is grounded in the authors' extensive practical experience in the EAP classroom. It bridges the gap between the theory and practice of EAP teaching, by distilling the insights from recent research into ideas that can be applied in teaching and materials development ; EAP Essentials builds confidence through a range of practical tasks by providing case studies of real teachers and students. This enables the teacher to reflect on best practice and identify ways to develop their own teaching skills. ; EAP Essentials offers original and practical ideas appropriate to a wide variety of contexts. The accompanying free CD also provides a large number of well-trialled materials that can be copied for use within the classroom. ; The book contains ten chapters, each one underpinned be up-to-date research, and backed up with a list of recommended further reading."
