This text investigates the specific linguistic challenges faced by students of economics when navigating academic discourse and technical terminology. The authors, F.I. Nixson and R.R. Jordan, leverage their expertise in English for Academic Purposes to provide a structured framework for mastering the vocabulary, syntax, and rhetorical conventions essential to the field of economics. By bridging the gap between general English proficiency and disciplinary literacy, the book offers a systematic approach to reading, writing, and analyzing economic texts.

The subject matter points to a specialized, pedagogical resource designed for students and non-native speakers entering the field of economics. The framing suggests a practical, skill-based approach that prioritizes linguistic clarity and academic rigor within the social sciences.
