This edited volume represents a collection of empirical research on essential topics in ESP, advancing our understanding of digital genres in a cohesive manner.

It contains 13 original contributions that offer wide coverage of the most influential theoretical frameworks and methodological advances in researching and teaching digital genres in academic and professional contexts. The chapters are authored by specialists from diverse fields, including corpus linguistics, genre analysis, critical discourse analysis, social semiotics, and ESP pedagogy. The volume comprehensively covers both academic and professional digital genres, ranging from research results announcements, video abstracts, video highlights, digital posters or Open Access dissertations to blogs, tourism websites, online annual reports, digital manuals for aviation, and online doctor–patient consultations. Fostering engaging discussions, some chapters examine digital genres in contrast to traditional ones, while others provide a cross-linguistic perspective. Evidence is derived from the application of multiple interdisciplinary perspectives and methods (qualitative and quantitative). Innovative pedagogical approaches to teaching digital genres, such as collaboration between practitioners, or collaborative learning are also illustrated.

The primary audience for this book comprises ESP researchers, scholars, instructors, teacher trainers, and language educators involved in preparing future citizens for academic and professional communication in a digital world.
