Meeting Description:
We
are pleased to announce the 12th annual NFEAP summer conference, which will take
place on Thursday the 7th and Friday the 8th of June 2018 at Oslo and Akershus
University College of Applied Sciences (Høgskolen i Oslo og Akershus), Oslo, Norway.
The theme for NFEAP 2018 is The Future of Genres. Genre is a vital concept
and resource in EAP, and NFEAP 2018 offers opportunities to think about the ongoing,
ever-developing relationship between genres, teaching, research and thinking. What
are the key questions about genre, EAP and teaching at this moment in time, and what
might they be in the future? How do concepts of genre affect and shape teaching and
research in academic disciplines, and in EAP itself?
Plenary speakers:
John M. Swales, University of Michigan, USA
Christine M. Tardy,
University of Arizona, USA
Carmen Perez-Llantada, University of Zaragoza,
Spain
Call for Papers:
The theme for the 2018 conference is The
Future of Genres.
Or, to put it another way, “The Futures of Genre” …
Genre is a vital concept and resource in EAP, and NFEAP 2018 offers
opportunities to think about the ongoing, ever-developing relationship between
genres, teaching, research and thinking. What are the key questions about genre, EAP
and teaching at this moment in time, and what might they be in the future? How do
concepts of genre affect and shape teaching and research in academic disciplines,
and in EAP itself?
We welcome work that addresses genre(s) in relation to
EAP theory and practice. This may include, for example, genre and voice or position;
genre innovation (and innovative genres); genre analysis; the affordances of genres
(and their limitations). Genre and its relationship to EAP may be understood
broadly.
We invite proposals that explore genre in connection with EAP
concepts; EAP training methods, principles, practices and research; needs analysis,
syllabus and materials design, teaching strategies and methodological issues;
group/interdisciplinary teaching; critical EAP; e-learning and technology; academic
identities; academic literacies; any other relevant topics.
