With contributions of scholars active in the research and practices of Chinese for Specific Purpose (CSP), the editors provided an excellent and a well-rounded body of CSP scholarship both from theoretical as well as pedagogical perspectives. Scholars, practitioners and business executives would greatly benefit from learning about the scope of research, instructional innovations and how learners' language skills transform into their professional success. In addition, this is a timely contribution to language learning models with service and experiential learning components.
