This optional module provides a focused route for students who wish to develop advanced knowledge and skills in teaching both English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and English for Academic Purposes (EAP). The module starts with the exploration of theoretical approaches and key research as well as pedagogical developments in the fields of ESP/EAP in the UK and across other national and international contexts. This in-depth introduction then moves on to the discussion of the principles of ESP/EAP course design, placing particular emphasis on practical knowledge of syllabus content/structure, material development and assessment methods.
