April 2007 Joint paper at Durham – BALEAP conference
Where we are now … and where we would like to be …
“With the increasing globalization of EAP it is more important than ever before to establish a description of the skills, competencies & qualifications of a professional EAP practitioner”
A description of ‘good practice’ could contribute towards the accreditation of EAP teacher development programmes or provide a series of reference points for individuals building up their own EAP portfolios
