Exploring inclusive teaching practices of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) in higher education (HE): Research protocol

There is growing evidence suggesting that inclusive practice, an approach to teaching that accepts diversity as framing the learning experience, transforming the educational system based on ideals of enacting social justice, is now part of the global educational agenda with institutions worldwide. Inclusion, however, still remains elusive, with conceptualizations proliferating across the literature and in practice where different people use the term in different ways and for varying purposes. The proposed study will employ qualitative and co-production methods to explore perspectives and attitudes towards inclusive teaching practices of EAP in HE and identify strategies through which such practices can be best promoted/implemented, the endpoint being to develop a framework/set of recommendations to be utilized as a guide to good practice.
