Project Summary:
This 3-year SSHRC-funded project examines how educational technologies are being used in post-secondary EAP programs across North America.
Project Description:
The goal of this project “Examining Language Teaching Technology Use in Post-Secondary English for Academic Purpose (EAP) Programs” is to examine, document and share the largely unknown ways technology is being used in post-secondary EAP programs. This multi-staged, mixed methods study has surveyed teacher, administrator and student views towards technology use in EAP along with examining technology-mediated EAP teaching practices and their impacts on varied stakeholders. The purpose of this study is to improve understanding of technology-mediated practices in English language teaching, program design and research, recognizing the needs of increasing numbers of international students in North American post-secondary programs requiring academic English language skills.
