More than ESP: International Experts on How to Teach English Effectively in Higher Education

English Language Specialist Ann Mabbott, Professor Emeritus, Hamline University, USA:

Mathematics, Physics or Social sciences professors do not necessarily know how to teach a language even if they can speak it perfectly. This is something that English teachers and content teachers have to collaborate on.
