18th November 2017 <\/span>\u00a3100<\/span><\/p>\n This PIM is jointly held with the BAAL Intercultural Communication SIG.<\/p>\n In today’s globalised, yet increasingly polarised world, communication skills, cultural knowledge, cultural sensitivity and open-mindedness towards others would seem to be more important than ever. The task of helping all students develop this core intercultural competence is surely one to be shared by all educators, but as EAP teachers and language professionals we are perhaps better placed than many to address it, to increase awareness of its importance and share our best practice with colleagues in other disciplines.<\/p>\n We have welcomed proposals for papers on any aspect of this broad theme. For example:<\/p>\n In the classroom<\/strong><\/p>\n This strand hopes to answer questions such as: Should we explicitly teach\/attempt to facilitate intercultural communication in the EAP classroom? If so, how do we do it, and can\/should it be assessed?<\/em><\/p>\n On campus<\/strong><\/p>\n This strand hopes to answer questions such as: What is our role in preparing students for and helping them navigate campus life and an internationalised curriculum?<\/em><\/p>\n Professional development<\/strong><\/p>\n This strand hopes to answer questions such as: What intercultural competencies do we need to develop as teachers? How can we help develop these across our institutions?<\/em><\/p>\n Wider Social Responsibility and Social Justice<\/strong><\/p>\n This strand hopes to answer questions such as: What role does the field of language and intercultural communication have in, and in what ways can it contribute to, addressing the recent worldwide political events that have challenged liberal, critical and ethical discourses on issues such as diversity, intercultural relations and\u00a0 social justice.<\/em><\/p>\n List of speakers with abstracts<\/a><\/p>\n Schedule of the day<\/a><\/p>\n Keynote Speaker: Professor Adrian Holliday<\/strong><\/a> of Canterbury Christchurch University<\/p>\n In the meantime please don’t hesitate to contact us with any queries, comments or suggestions using the conference email address<\/a>.<\/p>\n Practical information:<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.ntu.ac.uk\/university-life-and-nottingham\/open-days\/advice-and-guidance\/getting-here<\/a><\/p>\n For BALEAP members, the reduced fee of \u00a375 applies.
