Alexander, O. and S. Argent.
2010. ‘Making EAP accessible for lower level learners’.
Folio (Journal of the Materials Development Association) 14/1: 13-15
Summary: The article argues that EAP can be taught to students with a low level of proficiency. It outlines some taken for granted assumptions about teaching low levels which have been criticised in recent literature and demonstrates how authentic texts and tasks can be adapted for the level while maintaining some of the complexity of academic genres.
