Overview
- One of the most outstanding features of this book is that it includes a variety of topics and perspectives that make it a comprehensive reference for teachers and researchers in the field. Thus, a single volume combines, on the one hand, theoretically-grounded studies on the application of computers in the field of LSP and, on the other, practical applications of the use of technological tools in specific teaching contexts, which can inspire readers to develop their own applications or to assess existing ones.
- Many books have been published on LSP, but on few occasions is the application of IT the core of those works. On the other hand, although there are many publications on the IT-related topics covered at the conference (such as corpus-based studies, the use of computers in second language acquisition, applications of IT to teaching and learning, etc.), there is a need for a single volume that combines such different perspectives and approaches and that is devoted to the field of LSP.

About the editors
The editors of the volume have ample experience teaching LSP at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. They have been involved in materials writing, in educational projects and in research related to LSP and, more specifically, to the impact of IT on LSP. English for Academic Purposes: Learning English through the Web (2001) and A Reading Course for Computing (2001) are among the most recent textbooks developed by the authors of the volume proposed here. The authors are currently developing an IT-based project funded by Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (2000), which consists in creating a virtual environment with learning resources for technical students of English. They received an award for an innovative teaching experience which involves the use of IT in LSP in 2001. In addition, the authors have also published several articles directly related to the scope of the volume.
