PIM (Hybrid): The role of EAP in English Medium and Transnational Education
21st March 2026
University of Sheffield
The University of Sheffield is pleased to announce that we will be hosting the next BALEAP PIM on Saturday, 21st March 2026.
The Call for Proposals closes on 9th February. Please see the PIM website for more details.
This hybrid event is on The role of EAP in English Medium and Transnational Education. The last EMI focussed PIM was at the University of Southampton in 2016 and over that last decade, there has been a continuing increase in global education, with subjects being taught in English overseas in HE institutions, online or in blended contexts. There are growing numbers of TNE arrangements with UK institutions where programmes are split between providers, locations and curriculums. In most cases EAP will form part of the student journey, whether pre-or in-sessionally, and whether explicitly or implicitly. The aim of the PIM is to look at the roles and opportunities the EAP sector and practitioners have in these developing areas.
We are delighted to confirm that our opening plenary will be delivered by Professor Bee Bond (University of Leeds) and Professor Nicola Galloway (University of Exeter) and is entitled 'Redefining the Role of EAP in the Era of English Medium Instruction and expanding Transnational Education'. You can read the plenary abstract here.
The programme for the day will include a range of both online and in-person sessions from across EAP, EMI and Transnational Education, focussing on areas such as 'Professional Development', 'Student Experience and Identity' and 'Curriculum and Assessment'. Full details to be confirmed shortly.
We are excited to welcome you to our Sheffield PIM. For up-to-date information please see the PIM website.
