Online PIM: EAP and the Academy in the Age of GenAI: Implications for practices and practitioners
University of Leeds
19th June 2026
EAP practitioners are uniquely positioned to understand how GenAI is reshaping academic literacies. A consensus is emerging that we must take an active role in addressing these changes and sharing our insights and pedagogical expertise with the wider academy. In so doing, we can help shape student learning and influence emerging language and literacy policies.
The Language Centre at the University of Leeds is pleased to be hosting a professional issues meeting on the implications of developments in AI technologies for practices and practitioners in EAP in June 2026.
This PIM will provide a valuable forum for members of the EAP community to share ongoing or recent research and/or scholarship in this area, as well as to disseminate effective practices and evaluate their impact.
