The University of Sheffield, English Language Teaching Centre (ELTC) invites you to a hybrid British Association of Lecturers of English for Academic Purposes (BALEAP) Professional Issues Meeting (PIM day conference) on 21st March 2026 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 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 curricula. 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.
