This 1978 publication focuses on English for academic purposes (EAP) also referred to at the time as English for educational purposes, and comprises seven chapters. Hawkey's introduction notes 'the significant agreement in all the papers on the importance of designing courses to train specific and relevant study as well as purely communication skills'.

This report, which includes papers by John Munby, Henry Widdowson and Tom Jupp, was compiled following an international ESP seminar organised in Bogotá, Colombia, in April 1977. The Editorial notes that, while ESP was seen as relatively new, it was also known to be an 'extension and development of insights', rather than a radically different methodology, and also involved a variety of approaches, not a 'harmonised body of doctrine'.

This paper outlines findings and guidelines on English for Specific Academic Purposes cross-continent link-ups.
