| This course focuses on the theoretical foundations of English for Academic Purposes (EAP). The course content covers the emergence and development of EAP, key concepts related to academic language and discourse, academic genres and genre-based approaches, theoretical models of academic reading and writing, discipline-specific academic language and discourse variation, and linguistic and pragmatic features of academic communication. In addition, issues such as academic integrity and source use are addressed from a theoretical perspective. Throughout the course, foundational and contemporary theoretical studies in the field of EAP are examined in order to enable students to critically engage with major debates and frameworks related to the teaching and learning of academic English.
