CDIC English Teachers Presenting at the BALEAP Conference 2023
Thursday, 2 February, 2023
Dr Alex Runchman and Academic English teachers Ji Lin (Connie) and Zhong Feng (Aaron) will present a paper at the BALEAP Conference 2023: Caution! EAP under Deconstruction to be held at the University of Warwick from 19th to 21st April. Their paper is titled ‘From the College English Test (CET) to English for Academic Purposes (EAP): teacher development in a transnational education (TNE) setting’ and will describe and analyse the experiences of Chinese university English teachers in adapting to the challenges of teaching EAP.
As highlighted on the (opens in a new window)Warwick Foundation Studies website they hope to "encourage a critical look at every aspect of EAP", "challenge the status quo", "offering ideas, opinions, research, practices, and suggestions that can take the field in new directions".
