Developing educators for the digital age

English for Academic Purposes (EAP) practitioners occupy a unique space within higher education that is sometimes perceived as ‘operating at the margins of academia’ (Ding & Bruce, 2017, p. 204). Partially, this is to do with the socio-political contexts within which EAP occurs and the historical tendency to frame the subject as part of a service to other departments rather than a discipline in its own right. Thus, within higher education, EAP tends to be framed in terms of its economic rather than academic contribution.
