Abstract:
This paper offers an insight into the efforts of two teachers trying to put together a
textbook, called English for Social Sciences. The teachers are myself and a friend, Ramona
Bran, who is an English language teacher at the Faculty of Sociology and Psychology, within
the West University of Timisoara, where I also used to work until the autumn of 2015. This
book came with some challenges due to our target audience, our students, but also our styles
of teaching which impinged on what we taught. This paper looks back at how these challenges
were overcome and how we adapted to the changes necessary to come up with the book.
