The choice of the phrase new directions for the subtitle of the book is especially intriguing since it echoes similar, already-used titles or section headings (e.g. Belcher, Johns, & Paltridge, 2011; Paltridge & Starfield, 2013; or Starfield, 2014). Another intriguing aspect is the choice of the term specialised English, and not ESP, which gives this choice a very prominent position while “ESP” and “EAP” are later put on an equal footing (cf. Kenny, Isik-Tas, & Jian, 2020, where the title goes definitely for ESP although the volume contains chapters on academic writing). There seem to be at least two possible explanations for this; namely, the need to re-orientate or even narrow down the scope of new at the threshold of a new decade, and a conscious avoidance of putting only ESP into the limelight. Therefore, “new” in this book reads more as a selective update which, as suggested by the wording of title and subtitle, involves repositioning EAP in relation to ESP. The upgrading of EAP is probably due to the fact that one of the co-editors of the volume is a leading figure in EAP, Ken Hyland, whose long-standing trajectory of writings on the matter has culminated in presenting EAP as a fully-fledged discipline (see e.g. Hyland, 2018).
