María Angeles García de Sola, Natividad Fernández de Bobadilla Lara

• This article presents a case study of co-operative teaching between the English Language and Analytical Chemistry Departments performed at the University of Granada. Although we are aware of the doubts which have been raised in relation to the relative effi ciency of using a subject specialist informant as provider of resources, consultant or even co-writer of materials with the language teacher, we wish to share our experience of using co-operative methods at the Faculty of Science in order to illustrate some of the considerable advantages which could be gained as a result of the interdisciplinary relationships created by this approach, improving not only the status of ESP professionals but also pedagogical practices.
