In 2019, the Centre for English Language and Foundation Studies at the University of Bristol will be running two one-week intensive TEAP courses with slightly different target audiences.
January 7 -11: we particularly welcome those with more EAP experience who would like to work toward the BALEAP TEAP Fellow or Senior Fellow. The 5 strands (A-E) of the BALEAP TEAP competencies will be addressed.
June 3-7: we particularly welcome those with less EAP experience – perhaps a pre-sessional summer programme or some non-EAP teaching experience. This course will focus more on the core elements (C1 & C2) of teaching practice, assessment and feedback.
In both cases the group size will be kept to around 14-16 and we welcome participants from a range of different backgrounds.
The scheme of work covers a 5-day week from 9:00 -5:00 and there will be preparation tasks and reading outside of those hours. It really is intensive!
There is no teaching practice. Teaching observation will be done using a video clip.
The course is not assessed. Participants will receive a certificate of completion.
Accommodation is not available through the university.
The registration fee of £400 will be payable through the University of Bristol online shop which will open in September 2018. Application can made through email to celfs-teap@bristol.ac.uk from September 2018.

The Certificate in Teaching English for Academic Purposes has been created by Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University to advance the very best practice in EAP in higher education in China and beyond. It is the only qualification of its type in China and is designed for employers to recognise a teacher’s excellence in the field. It is a practical certificate that will have a direct impact on a teacher’s understanding of EAP and their classroom practice.
The CTEAP is not just a training course but is a transformative experience, which encourages teachers to think of themselves and their work differently and to position themselves differently within their places of work.

The Language Testing at Lancaster summer course is for those individuals or teams whose work or personal interests involve them in language test construction and development at the local or national level. Weeks 1 and 2 of the course will help participants build on their knowledge of language testing by providing theoretical input on issues central to language testing and hands-on opportunities to develop test items. In addition, two further one-week courses focus on the analysis of test data: Week 3 focuses on the role of inferential statistics in classical test theory while week 4 offers an introduction to modern test theory.
