The roles of extensive reading in teacher education<br />
Chris Lima (University of Leicester)<br />
In this talk, I will discuss the importance of extensive reading in English<br />
language teacher education. I will also discuss how focusing on developing<br />
teachers’ familiarity and appreciation of literature, as well as participation<br />
in a reading group, can contribute to the development of language<br />
awareness, reading and writing skills, intercultural understanding and<br />
professional engagement.<br />

This talk will report on the Map of the Urban Linguistic Landscape (MULL),<br />
an online collaborative project, open to all, which aims to map the global<br />
urban linguistic landscape. After a brief overview of the background and<br />
findings which have emerged so far, I will share some practical ideas on<br />
how to use the map as a teaching resource.<br />

Metadiscoursal features of academic writing in the university business<br />
school<br />
Philip Nathan (Durham University)<br />
Metadiscourse represents a key feature of student academic writing.<br />
Based on analysis of a small corpus of student-written business texts<br />
generated on a range of business programmes, this talk presents initial<br />
findings from a study of the metadiscoursal features of student writing in<br />
the Business School. Pedagogical applications of these findings are<br />
presented.<br />

EAP learners developing as practitioners of learning<br />
Susan Dawson (University of <strong>Manchester</strong>/INTO <strong>Manchester</strong>)<br />
What puzzles EAP learners about their language learning lives? What<br />
happens when they explore those puzzles as part of their everyday<br />
classroom activity? This talk looks at how myself and my learners<br />
implemented the principles of Exploratory Practice as part of a 10-week<br />
EAP course, the understandings that emerged and the implications of this<br />
sort of work for EAP practice.<br />
