PEDAGOGICAL APPROACHES AND PRINCIPLES TO THE TEACHING OF ENGLISH FOR ACADEMIC PURPOSES

Summary/Abstract: As internationalization and globalization in higher education intensifies, there are ever increasing numbers of students who travel beyond their own country’s borders to study. Thus, English for Academic Purposes (EAP) is a methodology which is at once growing in importance and becoming more widespread. Therefore the purpose of this article is to discuss eight pedagogical principles and approaches to the teaching of English in an academic environment, which can help to enhance both non-native students’ and academics’ learning of EAP. These approaches and principles reflect unique conditions and goals which are emblematic of the teaching EAP (TEAP) such as meeting students’ immediate needs, the use of authentic materials or the issue of intercultural awareness.
