In 2023, EAP was put under deconstruction. In 2025, we are celebrating EAP as co-construction. 
While EAP practitioners share a commitment to enhancing the international student experience, we may find ourselves very differently positioned and/or valued by our institutions. BALEAP 2025 invites an exploration of unique positionings, ‘third spaces’, and collaborative projects that reach across and beyond the university.
The conference aims to explore questions such as: 
  • What does it mean to engage in co-creation in EAP teaching and research? 
  • How are participation, voice and agency linked? 
  • What are the conditions of possibility for collaboration across disciplines and among participants who are differently positioned within institutions or society? 
We welcome submissions which engage directly with the conference theme, but also those that trouble it. We are pleased to accept proposals from participants at all stages of their careers, including undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral students.

Registration opens on Friday 1 November 2024. Please visit the BALEAP website to register.
