Internet usage on English for academic purposes courses
This paper begins by documenting general usage of the Internet as a tool for delivery of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) courses. It then goes on to illustrate how a number of specific internet-based classroom activities might be integrated onto EAP courses in order to equip non-native speakers with the main skills that they are likely to need when following an academic course at a British university
English for Specific Academic Purposes
In most non-English speaking countries the language is basically seen as an academic endeavour for some general or specific purposes Teachers academicians syllabus designers but not learners are often involved in structuring designing or promoting the curricula and teaching activities The rationale of this paper is to integrate other contributing components to the teaching and learning of English for Specific Academic Purposes ESAP Authentic material ICT learners communication task based activities the teacher s facilitator role digital teaching purpose oriented assessment learner centred methods and project oriented curricula are the current needs of higher education in the Moroccan university Thus the objective of this paper is to give some new insights that might contribute in the digital change and the current needs of learning and teaching enterprise For this purpose a case study of teaching some linguistic and research methods courses has been conducted in the English department at Chouaib Doukkali University El Jadida Morocco to evaluate to current situation analyse the data and suggest a reconstructive model based on ICT and learners integratio
Math and English for Academic Purposes
Even though math is thought to be mostly numbers, there is a significant amount of language involved. Students do not have to know only the discipline-specific vocabulary, or jargon, associated with math, but they also have to understand other forms of language in and out of the classroom. For example, instructors will work problems out on the board while discussing the steps orally to go from one part of the problem to the next which may not align with what the teacher is writing on the board, so there is potentially a loss of comprehension on the student’s part. Additionally, instructors will give instructions in class or give information on specific dates for exams, quizzes and homework which is sometimes given orally or written on the board. Asking questions during class and following transitions between activities can be another challenge for second language learners who struggle with language in a math class. Another aspect of language present in a math course is in the textbook. Students will often be assigned chapters or sections to read in order to prepare for an upcoming class. The textbook is written using the disciplinary language of math, which makes it difficult to follow especially because definitions of math words are often defined with other math jargon. With such rich language and classroom interaction, it is imperative to not overlook the subject of math when discussing English for Academic Purposes
Specialised English: New Directions in ESP and EAP Research and Practice
The field of specialized English has expanded on an unprecedented scale. We have already seen that there is a plethora of research articles in specialized top journals like Journal of English for Academic Purposes and English for Specific Purposes, as well as influential volumes and handbooks: in English for Specific Purposes (ESP), publications like The Handbook of English for Specific Purposes edited by Paltridge and Starfield (2013), Introducing English for Specific Purposes by Anthony (2018); in English for Academic Purposes (EAP), publications such as the seminal collection Research Perspectives on English for Academic Purposes edited by Flowerdew and Peacock (2001), Introducing English for Academic Purposes by Charles and Pecorari (2016), and The Routledge Handbook of English for Academic Purposes edited by Hyland and Shaw (2016)

Students’ learning preferences of English for academic purposes - A KUiTTHO Affair
Kolej Universiti Teknologi Tun Hussein Onn (KUiTTHO) aims to produce graduates who are competent in English and other core skills in order to be in parallel with other established institutions. Communication and soft skills play important roles in making a graduate a success in the working world and to meet the demands of globalization especially where English is becoming more important. English for Academic Purposes was introduced as one of the required subjects for KUiTTHO students. Students whose MUET results are below than Band 3 and achieved only 50% or less in the placement test are required to take this course. This subject is aimed to facilitate students to undertake MUET again so they are able to achieve at least a Band
3. The study aims to find the learner’s preference in learning English for Academic Purposes as a new subject. Learning preferences in this case include how they want to learn, which language skills they prefer to learn and types of activities they prefer. This research will adapt the
qualitative method using questionnaire and observation in gaining data. It is hoped through this research a comprehensive needs analysis can be developed to enhance the learning and the teaching of English for Academic Purposes later
Formulaic language in English for Academic Purposes
This is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Routledge via the link in this recordFormulaic language has been a central concern in recent work on English for Academic
Purposes. This chapter reviews the main motivations for EAP research in this area before
critically discussing four issues which have been prominent in the literature: how analysis of
formulaic language can help us understand the nature of academic language; how formulaic
language relates to originality and criticality in academic work; how use of formulaic
language influences the grades students receive; and how appropriate formulas for teaching
can be identified
