Spring/Summer 2020
This edition’s Focus is ESP and covers a wide range of disciplines, including English for: aviation, medicine, business, law, tourism, and catering and hospitality.

This is just a sample of the inspiring articles in this issue. Professor James Shapiro talks to ETAS stalwart Eva Göksel about bringing Shakespeare into the classroom.
