Meeting Description:

EAP in Ireland is delighted to announce its second annual conference, to be
held at University College Cork on Saturday, 5 October, 2019. This year’s
conference aims to investigate and discuss EAP within its broad range of
academic and institutional contexts. The focus of the event is the changing
nature and drivers of collaboration between EAP and disciplinary colleagues;
innovations in the teaching, learning, assessment and ethos of EAP; and the
creative approaches and solutions EAP practitioners and researchers are
championing and adopting in the face of a range of academic and institutional
challenges.



Call for Papers:

We invite proposals for workshops, lightning talks, posters, and presentations
addressing what drives us, as EAP practitioners and researchers, to forge
fruitful collaborations with colleagues, and to apply creative approaches to
maximise outcomes for learners and for colleagues. We welcome contributions
that consider these themes in context, and that confront the structural
challenges that face EAP practitioners as individuals and as a community.

We call for contributions on the challenges that may be faced by the learners
with whom we work, from critical perspectives, or using a creative approach.
Equally, presentations and workshops demonstrating a creative or innovative
solution to learners’ challenges are welcome. There is also scope for the
investigation of the motivations for and theoretical and practical
underpinnings of such solutions.

As EAP extends beyond its traditional home in the academy, we invite proposals
which investigate developments in EAP outside the university. The pathway
sector, for example, can be a site of innovation as well as a focus for
criticism of the impact of the neoliberal agenda on education in general, and
on EAP in particular. These tensions and contradictions remain
under-researched, and their critical assessment is of clear interest,
particularly in view of the many under-reported innovations that take place in
this sector. Furthermore, as a group under-represented in the research
literature despite their, EAP practitioners and their colleagues from the
pathway sector and other non-university contexts are encouraged to submit
proposals.

Some key themes which fit the conference’s remit are listed below, but EAP in
Ireland is happy to consider any proposal which is in dialogue with the
conference theme:

EAP and disciplinary epistemologies/pedagogy
Historical approaches to embedding EAP
EAP and/vs. ESAP
Academic literacies for a range of contexts and purposes
English in academic contexts: creative approaches and future developments
Embedded EAP
Critical EAP
Learning, teaching and assessment for varied / varying contexts
Learning, teaching and assessment practices for disciplinary preparation
Content-led EAP
Language development and/vs. disciplinary orientation
EAP and the disciplines: fostering understanding, encouraging collaboration
Perceptions of EAP: overcoming academic and institutional silos
EAP in the pathway programme; the pathway programme and the institution
EAP in atypical contexts
Action research in EAP
Digital literacies for study preparation
Creative approaches to EAP in specific contexts

Prospective speakers should forward an abstract of not more than 350 words to
conference organisers Julie Butters and Jessica Garska by 5 July, 2019.
Speakers are also invited to attach a short biography of approximately 50
words, along with up to five key words, and an indicative sample of
references. All submissions should be made on the following google form:
