Gold standard English language testing

Supporting the work of the UK’s hard-working language centres, Password online English language tests are designed and academically managed by Professor Cyril Weir’s world-leading team of experts in testing and assessment.

Password SkillsA full four skills test of reading, writing, listening and speaking. Used for admission to undergraduate and postgraduate university programmes.

Password Skills (Receptive)A test of reading and listening, used to support institutions with well-developed assessments of their own who need to test reading and listening as discrete skills (for example to fulfil UKVI requirements).

Password KnowledgeA sophisticated test of grammar and vocabulary, used to help busy language centres screen students on arrival to quickly identify those in need of in-sessional support. Also used to assess students joining pre-university programmes such as year round foundation courses.

Password customised for your language centreThe Password team is also happy to help institutions put their own English language tests online, either in combination with one or more of the Password test modules or independently.

All Password tests assess academic English and are aligned to the CEFR (A2 to C1). Whilst the tests do not require intensive preparation, sample questions and practice tests are available online for familiarisation.

Message from the chair

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Executive Committee and the Conference Team, I am pleased to welcome you to the 22nd biennial BALEAP Conference at the University of Leicester.

The latest announcements from the UK government regarding visa changes are just one more indication of the truth of this year’s conference theme. EAP really is working in a rapidly changing landscape. We have a packed conference programme with pre-conference events, plenaries, parallel sessions and two new additions – Pecha Kucha and Symposia. In all of these, presenters will provide their take on the issues and challenges facing EAP practitioners and show how we can respond to the changes we face by offering their own solutions.

Alongside the main conference programme, the organisers have assembled an impressive exhibition of products and services relevant to the work we do. Please make time to stop by the exhibition and peruse the wares on offer.

Finally, I would like to extend a sincere thank you to Phil Horspool and the organising team here at the University of Leicester for putting together what I am sure will be a very successful conference.

Enjoy!

Diane Schmitt

Chair of BALEAP

Event information Dear Delegate,

We are delighted to welcome you to the 2015 Biennial BALEAP Conference. The conference brings together lecturers, researchers, exam providers, and publishers, increasingly from across the world, with an interest in English for Academic Purposes.

The 2015 conference is being hosted by the English Language Teaching Unit (ELTU), University of Leicester.

We are pleased to say that the call for papers resulted in an array of presentations on a wide variety of topics. We have been able to accommodate these presentations on a number of different platforms: talks, workshops, symposia, poster presentations and Pecha Kucha, and we very much hope that this diversity will mean that you will find talks and workshops that you are interested in seeing.

You will find full details of the conference programme in this booklet. If you have a query at the venue, please seek out a member of the BALEAP conference team wearing University of Leicester polo shirts who will be able to assist you.

We hope you enjoy the conference!

Plenaries

Opening Plenary – Sponsored by Trinity College London Friday

Gilbert Murray 14:00 – 14:50

Prof Rebecca Hughes British Council Director of International Education

Navigation in a complex world: English as compass or map?

Those who work with international students to help them prepare for studies in the medium of English are working in an increasingly complex, mobile and connected world. HESA statistics show that it was around 2011 that the numbers of international students undertaking a UK degree outside the British Isles started to outstrip those taking one on our shores. These numbers continue to rise steeply. Simultaneously increasing numbers of international institutions are starting to teach in the medium of English; and the teaching of English in primary and secondary schools has strengthened language skills of young people dramatically in key markets for UK institutions. This talk examines these phenomena in more detail and asks what the role of those supporting students in their journey towards a successful completion of their degree might become in future if we extrapolate from these trends.

Professor Rebecca Hughes has joined the British Council Director of International Education after a career working extensively in international Higher Education and English Language and Linguistics. Rebecca’s experience of transnational Higher Education includes being the first Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Internationalization at the University of Sheffield and, at the University of Nottingham, running a department delivering UK degrees and English language support services in Malaysia and China. Professor Hughes has published widely on her personal research interest of spoken language and given presentations on this topic at a number of international conferences.

Saturday Plenary Gilbert Murray 09:00- 09:50

Dr Catherine Walter University of Oxford

Listening and reading in L2 academic contexts: what do we know now, and what can we do about it?

There is now a substantial body of knowledge about what happens when second language listeners and readers encounter academic texts. I will review research in this area, reflect on what kinds of skills are involved, and invite colleagues to reflect on what this means for EAP materials and classroom practice.

Catherine Walter is a lecturer in Applied Linguistics at the University of Oxford, having taught English to speakers of other languages, trained language teachers and written award-winning English language textbooks for 25 years before becoming a full-time teacher educator and researcher. Catherine is a National Teaching Fellow and is also Chair of the British Council’s English Language Advisory Group and a member of the BAAL/LAGB Committee on Linguistics in Education. Her research interests are in the cognitive aspects of second language acquisition and performance, in language teacher education and in second language academic performance.

Closing Plenary – Sponsored by Collins Sunday

Gilbert Murray 12.10 – 13:00

Prof Ken Hyland The University of Hong Kong

Innovating Instruction: Specificity and English in the disciplines.

In 2012 Hong Kong reformed its educational system by removing a year from students’ school experience and adding it to their time at university. At Hong Kong University we took this opportunity to reconsider the English that we taught and redesign our courses to focus on “English in the Discipline”. This recognizes that disciplinary variations in communicative conventions are at the heart of EAP and involves identifying the particular language features and discourse practices of target groups. In this presentation I discuss something of this process and the principles of disciplinary specific language, highlighting research which supports a specific view of teaching.

Prof Ken Hyland’s primary research interests lie in written discourse analysis, particularly in academic context. These interests are closely connected with his work in developing the academic literacy of graduate students and in teacher education. He is currently Director of the Centre for Applied English Studies at The University of Hong Kong where he holds a personal chair in Applied Linguistics. He is currently co-editor of Applied Linguistics Journal, an Honorary Professor at the University of Warwick and a Foundation Fellow of the Hong Kong Academy of the Humanities. His most recent research interests are on academic identity and academic publishing.

Poster Presentations Gilbert Murray Saturday 13.30 – 14.15 Ally Malcolm-Smith ELT University of St Andrews Moving away from the ‘tiger teacher’ – Developing growth mindsets in undergraduate scientists

Many students arrive at university with a fixed mindset (Dweck 2000). There are many benefits to students to develop a growth mindset, including developing criticality, resilience and self-confidence. With focused reflection alongside classroom activities which require a growth mindset, will this lead to change? As Programme Director for the International Foundation Programme for Science at St Andrews, I’ve seen many young scientists develop. I’ve also more general interests in developing listening and vocabulary skills.

Gilbert Murray Saturday 13.30 – 14.15 Andrew Woodard Durham University

Coherence and cohesion: Can communication disorder studies help EAP? The source of L2 students’ difficulties with coherence and cohesion in EAP is not well understood, though such deficits figure prominently in a range of communication disorders. I will explore the understanding of the deficit(s) in such conditions (in terms of Theory of Mind, ‘weak central coherence’, and procedural memory) to see how L2 EAP students might benefit. EAP teacher since 2009, mainly at ELC at Durham University, and studying for a PhD in philosophy of language/linguistics (part-time) since 2009 at Durham.

Chinese Learners of English and the IELTS exam – breaking the glass ceiling For many Chinese candidates taking the IELTS exam there seems to be a barrier at a score of 5 or 5.5 which is not enough for direct University entry. This paper tries to identify the possible reasons for this and suggest ways in which IELTS preparation courses could be improved. EAP Tutor at UNNC. Particular interest in Language Acquisition, Test Preaparation and Assessment, especially in the context of high-stake international examinations.

Gilbert Murray Saturday 13.30 – 14.15 Debbie Haile University of South Wales Computer says ‘yes’? Implementing a personal corpus-building EAP course for the teaching of academic language at the University of South Wales I am investigating the use of personal corpus-building and mining for the acquisition of words from the Academic Word List. Using the sections of the Manchester Phrase Bank as my base for each lesson, I taught students to delve into their own corpora to see how to use the most common academic words for each element of an essay or report.
