Welcome to our newsletter. This week we've put together a blog article on some of the best academic English books on the market. Although there hasn't been a significant input of EAP books over the last few years, there has been some great books from the last 10 years. Our blog page showcases 20+ books we have all used here at Academic English UK that we think are all honourable mentions.

If you are reasonably new to teaching EAP, then these are the books that you would find in a university teaching department.
