Analysing Economics and News discourse. Reading Materials

This book aims to provide reading materials for teaching English to students of economics. The book is meant to develop their critical reading skills on a variety of textual genres which they may encounter in the course of their studies: textbooks, treatises, research articles, news articles, and so on. The volume includes both a selection of reading materials and three methodological chapters meant as an introduction to critical reading. These are based on the asumption that EAP students should reach beyond the general reading skills and strategies and develop a critical awareness of the specific features of the discourse areas and genres they need to tackle in their studies.
