Description
The Teacher Education in EAP (TEd in EAP) SIG specialises in the area of teacher education for the EAP profession, specifically the education and professional development of EAP practitioners. This specialist area includes, but is not limited to, approaches to development in different EAP contexts, EAP practitioner education and credentials, an exploration of EAP practitioner knowledge base and implications for development and education, and the role scholarship plays. The SIG is aimed at two constituent groups: Those delivering, designing and supporting Continuing Professional Development (CPD)/teacher education for teachers of EAP. Individual practitioners interested in developing their own practice, particularly where there is limited or no institutional support. In this way, we aim to facilitate teacher agency.
