Learning from learners – practical approaches to EAP writing development

With Chris Tribble and Ursula Wingate

 

In this workshop we will present a genre / corpus informed EAP writing programme for MA students.  Following a brief overview of the theoretical and practical bases of the writing development programme we will share examples of the teaching materials we are using and give participants an opportunity to experience how the programme is delivered to students.  The workshop will finish with a discussion of practical issues related to the design and implementation of this kind of writing development programme.

 

Dr Christopher Tribble is a Lecturer in Applied Linguistics at King's College, London University.  He has a long-standing research and teaching interest in written communication and the use of corpora in ELT.  His publications include Writing in the OUP Teacher Education series edited by Candlin and Widdowson, and Textual Patterns: key words and corpus analysis in language education with Benjamins.  He's also a documentary photographer for arts, humanitarian, and charity organisations (www.ctribble.co.uk).

 

Dr Ursula Wingate is Lecturer in Language in Education at King’s College London. Among her research interests are students’ transition from school to university, theoretical and pedagogic approaches to teaching academic writing, and online teaching and learning.  Ursula has recently completed a research project funded by the Centre of Distance Education, University of London, investigating the impact of academic writing interventions for students in distance education.  Previous projects have focussed on online and embedded models of teaching writing in various disciplines.

 

Who is this for?

All EFL, ESOL and EAP teachers (newly qualified to experienced) and those who would like to learn more about English for Academic Purposes.
