Conferences in EAP

Fill out this form to let us know what you think of the podcast. We'd love to use your feedback to inform our upcoming book chapter on Educational Podcasting. Thank you! In this episode, Sanchia talks to the organisers behind some of the longest-running conferences in EAP: Mark Carver (St Andrews), Kristin Solli (NFEAP) and Tom Muir (NFEAP, EATAW). Together, they explain the vital role of conferences in EAP and uncover some of the hidden work that goes into organising them, with the conversation touching on topics from collaboration, theme-setting and accessibility, to the "personality" of a conference and, of course, the importance of coffee and cake! The episode finishes with our guests' reflections on a few memorable moments from conferences they've attended over the years, as well as practical advice to anyone about to attend a conference for the first time.Hosts: Sanchia Rodrigues, University of Warwick Xiaoqing Bi, Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University Guests: Mark Carver, University of St Andrews Kristin Solli, OsloMet Tom Muir, OsloMet Resources: St Andrews EAP Conference, an annual conference in St Andrews, Scotland Norwegian Forum for EAP, an annual conference in Oslo, Norway European Association for the Teaching of Academic Writing, a biennial conference to be held in Skopje, North Macedonia for 2027 Feminism x EAP, a biennial "slow conference" (online, free)
