adult Business and General English teaching. I will present practical<br />
examples on how to take your class out into the real world and exploit<br />

Integrating simulations in a seminar-based approach to EAP writing<br />
Gusztav Demeter (Case Western Reserve University, USA)<br />
This presentation will discuss the use of simulations in English for<br />
Academic Purposes writing courses and suggest possible assignments and<br />
activities that can be integrated by instructors in their own classes.<br />
Following a theoretical justification and report on our own experience,<br />
further resources for using simulations will also be suggested.<br />
Explicit SPRE instruction - an aid to essay writing<br />
Niall Lloyd<br />
Our ESL students need help with essay writing, whether it be to pass a<br />
proficiency exam or to survive in higher education. This talk reports on<br />
research undertaken to assess the impact of instructing students, whose<br />
L1 is Spanish, on the use of the SPRE model in order to aid their<br />
organizational and development abilities in the production of essays.<br />

Beyond the five-paragraph essay in EAP writing<br />
Jennifer MacDonald (Dalhousie University)<br />
The five-paragraph essay is omnipresent in English for academic purposes<br />
(EAP) coursebooks, despite corpus-based research that shows few<br />
university students are assigned essays of this type, but rather any number<br />
of genres. This presentation will look at alternatives to the five-paragraph<br />
essay in the teaching of EAP writing and propose practical teaching ideas<br />
to bring genre into the classroom.<br />
