Anyhow, since most of the teachers at our school teach English for Academic Purposes (EAP), I thought it might be worthwhile highlighting some of the key sessions dealing with this area of language teaching. This is not an exhaustive list of EAP sessions at the conference, simply the ones that sounded most interesting to me. If you want to see the complete list, you can always go to the Harrogate programme and see which ones you like the look of.
