This book provides resource ideas and lesson plans for teaching primarily English for academic purposes (EAP) to international art and design students, although it could also be used by any teacher wanting student-centered, 21st-century lessons . If you have an arty mindset and a knack for explaining how English works, then you’ll be in your element working with art and design students. However, when it comes to published materials to help develop language skills for international students on English for academic purposes (EAP) courses, they are often rather dry and too limited for developing art & design students' ability to switch deftly between concrete and abstract ideas.
This book provides content for up to 50 lessons. It covers the fundamentals of communicating in higher education contexts and introduces many original and relevant topics, with recurring emphasis on sustainability and student-centeredness. The material can be used face-to-face and/or online, and can be flexibly supplemented according to need. The book can be used not just by EAP practitioners, but by any educator wanting some fresh and engaging lesson ideas.
