Finding the balance: language and content in EAP.

EAP Conference programme 2016 (PDF)

As EAP schools and departments are developing and evolving, what they teach is constantly changing and their relationship with the rest of the academic community also changes. The conference in 2016 was an opportunity for the EAP community to share thoughts and practices on the topic of balancing language and content.

Dan Jones and Steve Kirk were the plenary speakers in 2016.
