SIG Event: Teacher Education in EAP: Designing Learning With (and Without) AI in EAP: A Contextualised Approach, with Paul Hendrie.

14th July 2026 from 13:00-14:00

Online

As AI continues to reshape the EAP landscape, this free session moves beyond asking what AI tools can do and focuses instead on what we want AI for in EAP teaching and learning design. Grounded in how people learn, the workshop will introduce simple, context-sensitive frameworks to help practitioners decide when to use AI, when to design around it and when to keep it out altogether. A key focus is on making purposeful design choices that support learning, protect student thinking, and keep EAP resolutely human. Participants will leave with practical resources, including skill files, chatbot examples, readings, applications and design frameworks to adapt for their own contexts. The event is free to attend.

2027 Biennial Conference

The BALEAP Conference 2027 will be held at King's College London (KCL). It will take place in the week of 12th April 2027 and the finalised dates will be confirmed as soon as possible. The title for the conference is "From Precarity to Possibility: Community and Creativity in EAP", emphasising an optimistic focus on how EAP can respond creatively to play a leading role in HE in these supercomplex times for universities. The theme is designed to promote new opportunities for the sharing of knowledge and deeper collaboration across our diverse sector in the UK and beyond.

To reflect this aim, BALEAP 2027 will make a refreshing break with tradition, and the conference will take the form of a collaboration between two institutions. King's Foundations KCL will host the conference in Bush House in the Strand, working with colleagues from The Centre for Education and Teaching Innovation (CETI) at University of Westminster as collaborative partner in the organisation and delivery of the conference. The aim is to highlight the benefits of increased collaboration with other teams across our sector.
