During conversations I’ve had recently with colleagues and mentees for the BALEAP TEAP Portfolio, they’ve described scenarios in the institutions where they work that I would consider to be EAP but they seemed not to. For example, how many of these are EAP for you:
- A teacher in a secondary school who teaches English literature to final year students
- Undergraduate students studying chemistry who have been asked to prepare and deliver TED talks
- Students on a PGT course in marketing who have an assessment that involves choosing five consumer items and making a video log (vlog) to explain why these are important to them
- A teacher supervising PGT dissertations for a mixed group of first and second language English speakers
- A careers department helping students with employment interview technique
