    BALEAP BUILA English Language Good Practice Guide

    In this episode, Michelle talks to the team behind the newly published English Language Good Practice Guide - a collaboration BALEAP and BUILA - which focuses on examining English language qualifications and tests; EAP provision on pre-sessional and pathway programmes; and approaches to in-sessional EAP. Thuy, Tim and Sora discuss the findings of the project, as well as how they hope it will highlight the positive impact of EAP provision on academic standards and student success. We also hear from Hannah Jones, BALEAP Chair, who discusses the origins of the project and how it surfaces the excellent work EAP departments do to support international students, as well as the steps being taken to raise BALEAP's profile and influence in policy and media conversations.

    Generative AI in EAP - where are we now?

    Following on from 2024 episode on Machine Translation and GenAI, we explore a critical question: is generative AI really inevitable in education—or have we simply accepted a narrative? Our panel challenges the assumption that AI's dominance in higher education is a foregone conclusion. Rather than asking "how do we use AI?", they ask more fundamental questions: What does it mean for AI to be designed without commitment to truth? How do we preserve the productive difficulty that enables learning? And who sets the agenda—educators or edtech companies? They discuss the politics of academic writing, the importance of friction in learning, institutional massification, and what it means to centre values (rather than tools) in teaching and assessment.
