This book is a welcome addition to the English for Specific Purposes (ESP) materials in the field of accounting. It explores the way students and professionals in accounting communicate and emphasizes the importance of well-defined relationships and effective communication in globalized accounting work. The volume is one of only a handful of resources ever produced focusing on ESP in accounting and in the context of the Philippines. * Marilu Ranosa Madrunio, University of Santo Tomas - Manila, The Philippines * Tenedero comprehensively and carefully traces how ideologies about languages and effective communication are mobilized in the field of globalized accounting - from the Philippine classrooms where communication skills are part of the accounting curriculum to the workplaces where offshore and onshore accounting services are offered. A must read for understanding what counts as communication and how communication counts in work where language is seemingly marginal. * Beatriz P. Lorente, University of Bern, Switzerland *
