The conference brings together lecturers, researchers, exam providers, and publishers with an interest in English for Academic Purposes. The conference is being hosted by the Centre for English Language Education (CELE), School of Education, University of Nottingham. The programme offers an exciting mix of presentations. We are delighted that we have had such a response to the call for papers and that we have been able to include presentations that we are certain will cover the wide range of interests of the delegates. You will find full details of the conference programme in this booklet. If you have any queries please don’t hesitate to ask one of the conference Organising Team or Student Helpers. You will see us wearing an ASK ME badge/T-shirt. We hope that you enjoy the conference!

This is the 41st anniversary year and 21st conference of the organisation formerly known as SELMOUS, so the theme chosen by Mick Kavanagh and his conference organising team – the Janus Moment in EAP – seems appropriate to reflect back on achievements and look forward to the future. There are some exciting developments forthcoming, both in BALEAP and more widely in the field of EAP research and practice. This is my third and final year as the Chair of BALEAP and I would like particularly to thank the executive committee and other members of working parties and sub-committees for their dedication and hard work. A lot has been achieved in a short space of time. I will be handing over to Diane Schmitt, our current Deputy Chair, at the Annual General Meeting, to be held at lunchtime on Saturday. I would encourage as many members as possible to attend in order to have your say about the direction that you want BALEAP to take and the support it should provide. The conference has attracted a wide range of interesting papers from a variety of academic contexts. I look forward to attending some of these and having conversations with as many of you as possible throughout the conference. 5 Conference_brochure_2013AL_Layout 1 10/04/2013 16:24 Page 6 Special Conference Theatre Friday 18.30 BALEAP Accreditation Scheme Meeting Conference Theatre Saturday 13.00 BALEAP AGM Gallery Saturday 18.15 BALEAP Doctoral Student Support Initiative: Fact Finding Meeting This informal session is open to all current and former PhD students, PhD supervisors and those who may be interested in doing a PhD later down the line. The purpose is to explore what gaps there are in support currently available for PhD students (in EAP related areas) as this is something BALEAP would like to focus on with a view to bolstering both new and existing researchers in the field of EAP. A key part of this is developing a support network of post-PhD colleagues who are willing to support EAP PhD students via short one to one (online) one off sessions covering particular areas of expertise they may need as an enhancement to their existing supervision arrangement. We also want to set up a PhD student led forum where those involved in the process can share experiences with each other. Please come along to share your thoughts to help this important project get off the ground. This session will be facilitated by Dr Sara Hannam, (Oxford Brookes University) who is a member of the BALEAP Research and Publications Subcommittee. Other members of the research subcommittee will also be there so this is a chance to find out more about how you can get involved in this important part of BALEAP's work. BALEAP Dissertation Award The BALEAP Masters Dissertation Award aims to showcase and encourage Masters dissertations which make a significant contribution to the EAP field. Instituted in 2011, the competition is open annually to colleagues worldwide who have successfully completed an EAP-related dissertation at Masters level. The winner is awarded a sum of £250 and a guaranteed presenter’s place at a BALEAP event. The first two winners of this award will be presenting their findings at the conference, both on Saturday: 16.00 Joy Robbins (2011 Winner) What works in academic email: A genre analysis with teacher and student perspectives 17.30 Gemma Campion (2012 Winner) ‘The Learning Never Ends’: Investigating teachers’ experiences of the transition from English for General Purposes to English for Academic Purposes in the UK context. What are the main challenges associated with beginning to teach EAP, and how can these challenges be overcome? 6 Conference_brochure_2013AL_Layout 1 10/04/2013 16:24 Page 7 Pre-conference Friday 19 April 2013 9.30-13.00 Room C11, Portland Building, University Park Writing the University Chris Tribble and Ursula Wingate King's College London, UK [email protected], [email protected] Context At King's College, London, we are developing sets of writing development resources for post-graduate students across academic disciplines (Applied Linguistics, Business Management, Pharmacy, and History). The procedure we are establishing involves cooperation with disciplinary specialists to identify relevant text genres, and to collect examples of high and low scoring writing from students currently enrolled on these programmes. Working with the disciplinary specialists, we then identify a small number of high scoring and low scoring examples which can be used in teaching and independent learning materials, along with a much larger set which can be used for later lexical and grammatical analysis. The basic approach is that the disciplinary specialists provide us with an "unpacking" of what's good and less good in the examples we have chosen together, so that the English language teaching specialists in our own group can prepare writing development resources on the basis of the expert commentaries. This is the first stage of a longer term project in which we are planning to move from text to corpus. In stage two we will use both our own Apprentice Writing Corpus and resources such as the BAWE (British Academic Written English) corpus, to develop supplementary materials which will enable students to focus on the linguistic exponents which are used by effective writers in fulfilment of discipline-specific tasks (e.g. appropriate citation, directing the reader, modifying claims and conclusions). The Workshop In the workshop, we will: • briefly provide an account of the theory which underlies the writing development programme • demonstrate the text resources that have been put in place and show participants how to do this for themselves • share examples of the teaching materials we are using and give participants an opportunity to experience how the programme is delivered to students • discuss future plans • facilitate a discussion in which participants will be invited to give feedback on our approach and ask questions related to the writing development programme and its implementation • facilitate a practical analysis session in which participants will be invited to apply the approach to examples of disciplinarily specific student writing that they have brought with them. 7 Conference_brochure_2013AL_Layout 1 10/04/2013 16:24 Page 8 More people go more places The world’s most popular English language test with IELTS. • Over 1.9 million IELTS tests taken last year by candidates wanting to work or study abroad • More than 7,000 organisations in over 130 countries recognise IELTS as a trusted indicator of English skills • IELTS is offered at over 800 test locations worldwide • Test questions are developed by specialists in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK and the US making it a truly international test For further information visit www.ielts.org 8 Conference_brochure_2013AL_Layout 1 10/04/2013 16:24 Page 9 Posters Poster presenters will indicate times during which they will be available to talk.
