15th annual St Andrews EAP Conference A hybrid event for professionals and researchers in EAP, TESOL, and international education

As in previous years, there will also be some limited hybrid options.

Booking and a range of discounted tickets will be announced shortly, but for now please save the date and bookmark our EventBrite page:

The timing allows us to offer this as a much lower cost event, including discounted university accommodation for delegates. There will also be pre-conference events in collaboration with our 3rd annual TESOL Doctoral Summer School.

We are pleased to invite you to the 15th annual St Andrews EAP Conference, now moving from our traditional February/March time so that you can enjoy some of sunny Fife in June.

Congratulations to our doctoral student Donal Richardson and supervisor Blair Matthews for an excellent scoping review on location-based games for language learning. And now proud members of the #outwith club! www.tandfonline.com/...
