“Access to literature for EAP practitioners: an international study of the challenges experienced in accessing literature for teaching, scholarship and research purposes”

- Do you teach or research English for Academic Purposes?
- Do you work with students and others to understand any form of academic communication (in English) and academic cultures?
- If you use or would like to use literature for these purposes, do you have any difficulty accessing relevant sources?
This project aims to identify the type of literature that teachers/practitioners access or would like to access to inform teaching, scholarship and research related to their role of teaching EAP. It aims to discover whether teachers in different contexts have access to literature they would like to use and how any difficulties in accessing literature are managed.
