NFEAP this year is a chance to think about the many mythologies of
EAP, academic writing, higher education pedagogy and the idea of a
university itself. We could think about at least two dimensions of
myth – first the idea of transcendence, an act or event that takes us
to a reality deeper than the everyday; and against that, the story or
idea that is pernicious but durable, misleading but stubborn.
Sometimes we need to make myths; sometimes we need to bust myths.
What are the myths in higher education that help us, that take us to
other dimensions of thinking, that permit us to see or reconfigure
realities? And by contrast, what are the myths that hinder both
academics and students, writers of all kinds, myths that foreclose
academic development and thinking? How might an HEI be made of myths
both good and bad?
We welcome work that tackles any kind of myth making or myth busting,
in relation to EAP theory and practice. We invite proposals that
explore EAP concepts; EAP training methods, principles, practices and
research; AI; technology and technology-enhanced learning; syllabus
and materials design, teaching strategies and methodological issues;
group/interdisciplinary teaching; critical EAP; academic identities;
academic literacies; any other relevant topics.
Plenary Speakers:
Chris Anson, North Carolina State University, US
Alex Ding, University of Leeds, UK
Oana Maria Carciu, University of Zaragoza, Spain
