BALEAP is delighted to announce the recipients of the Pathways to Impact Case Study Grants.
The competitive grant scheme supports BALEAP members to develop and disseminate robust, evidence-based case studies demonstrating the impact of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) on student success and/or institutional outcomes. To ensure a fair and transparent process, applications were reviewed independently and anonymously using a standardised scoring framework, with each application assessed by a panel of three reviewers against clearly defined criteria. BALEAP Executive Committee members were not involved in the assessment or selection of the successful projects.
The successful projects are:
Yaxin Zhang — Heriot-Watt University
How Pre-sessional Students Frame Their Prior Academic Traditions: Investigating EAP Assessment’s Impact on Epistemic Self-Positioning
Sarah Mattin, Dr Jennifer Sizer & Dr Karin Whiteside — University of Reading
Evidencing EAP impact: a mixed-methods case study of discipline-specific in-sessional provision at the University of Reading

Demonstrating the Reach, Value and Impact of In-Sessional EAP Provision in UK Higher Education: A Case Study from the University of Salford
Dr Stergiani Kostopoulou — University College Dublin

Congratulations to all the award recipients.
We look forward to sharing their case studies with the wider EAP community.
