Abstract

Ding and Bruce offer an in-depth critical discussion of key issues and concepts that relate to the development of EAP (English for Academic Purposes) practitioners, which they see as an ongoing, long-term process. They first address background issues that include the origins and use of the term practitioner, professionalism and EAP, as well as the limited ‘cultural capital’ that EAP practitioners bring to universities. Development is then considered in relation to the contributions of qualifications and self-directed activity, such as through reflection. In particular, they critique reflective practice and consider its limitations as a development tool. The chapter concludes by recommending the accrual of ‘cultural capital’ through scholarship and research activity as a basis for establishing the identity and agency of the practitioner.
