Creative EAP. Changing dynamics of teaching

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Current societal changes throughout the world are affecting the way we think, learn and teach. Individual sectors of Higher Education reflect those changes in diverse ways. Different universities adopt innovative pedagogies, methodologies and educational styles, which impact EAP significantly and require EAP practitioners to implement corresponding changes into their everyday teaching practice. Students today are expected not only to acquire appropriate language competencies that would enable them communicate competently in their discipline, but also to learn a whole range of extra-linguistic competencies, from intercultural communication skills to team work, creative thinking or autonomous decision-making strategies. In this paper, I will introduce some theories and approaches that allow for flexible implementation of a wide range of linguistic and extra-linguistic competencies into EAP courses. I will present strategies that encourage students to become more responsible, creative and autonomous co-authors of their own learning. And I will also show some practical examples of activities that link local and international academic setting, combine authentic and adapted materials or situations, blend synchronous and asynchronous modes of communication, and demonstrate how creative teaching may help learners deal with a wider variety of complex challenges they may face in the future more effectively.
