Meeting Description:

We are pleased to announce the  12th annual NFEAP summer conference, which
will take place on Thursday the 7th   and Friday the 8th  of June 2018 at Oslo
and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences (Høgskolen i Oslo og
Akershus), Oslo, Norway. 

The theme for NFEAP 2018 is The Future of Genres. Genre is a vital concept and
resource in EAP, and NFEAP 2018 offers opportunities to think about the
ongoing, ever-developing relationship between genres, teaching, research and
thinking.  What are the key questions about genre, EAP and teaching at this
moment in time, and what might they be in the future? How do concepts of genre
affect and shape teaching and research in academic disciplines, and in EAP
itself?

Plenary speakers: 

John M. Swales, University of Michigan, USA
Christine M. Tardy, University of Arizona, USA
Carmen Perez-Llantada, University of Zaragoza, Spain


Call for Papers:

The theme for the 2018 conference is The Future of Genres.  

Or, to put it another way, “The Futures of Genre” … 

Genre is a vital concept and resource in EAP, and NFEAP 2018 offers
opportunities to think about the ongoing, ever-developing relationship between
genres, teaching, research and thinking.  What are the key questions about
genre, EAP and teaching at this moment in time, and what might they be in the
future? How do concepts of genre affect and shape teaching and research in
academic disciplines, and in EAP itself?

We welcome work that addresses genre(s) in relation to EAP theory and
practice. This may include, for example, genre and voice or position; genre
innovation (and innovative genres); genre analysis; the affordances of genres
(and their limitations). Genre and its relationship to EAP may be understood
broadly.

We invite proposals that explore genre in connection with  EAP concepts; EAP
training methods, principles, practices and research; needs analysis, syllabus
and materials design, teaching strategies and methodological issues;
group/interdisciplinary teaching; critical EAP; e-learning and technology;
academic identities; academic literacies; any other relevant topics. 

Submission guidelines: 

Please submit your abstract of no more than 300 words and a biography of no
more than 50 words by February 18, 2018 using the link below. The standard
length for presentations is 30 minutes (20 minutes for presentation, plus 10
minutes for discussion). You will be notified of the outcome of the review
process by March 17, 2018.
