EAP Conference 2021
Transitions and Tribulations: EAP at the crossroads
EAP Conference 2021 programme (PDF)
With a theme of transitions and four plenary speakers from previous events, the EAP conference at the University of St Andrews celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2021. The conference provided many interesting insights to current directions in EAP practice, resulting from empirical research, as increasingly EAP practitioners have opportunities to carry out research while remaining active in the classroom.
The plenary speakers were:
- Diane Schmitt, Nottingham Trent University (retired)
- Professor Steve Kirk, Durham University
- Professor Hilary Nesi, Coventry University
- Dr Nigel Caplan, University of Delaware
