Dear Frances
I was so glad to hear from you and thankful to find someone interested
in what I do! I run a host of other courses but this is the one closest
to the heart
Here is the course portfolio
http://www.hio.no/For-tilsatte/Kurs-og-seminar/Spraakkurs
I did my phD on Paradise Lost, Eve...and have been a literature person
for a long time, also Harlem Ren. and most other American lit. up to mid
20th C
The eap game is full of applied liguists and I am not sure this is
enough to do the trick, since humans are more than language and
technicailties. I hate the idea of English as an academic tool
Do you teach non native English speaking staff? I suppose you have
enough native speakers.
Anyway I will look up Gough, many thanks for any more book or journal
article tips. I am doing this the opposite way around and need to back
up what I imagine with hard texts to give me credibility. Enclose the
Baleap abstract and have been asked to do a preconference session too,
so must keep gleaning the fields for more bakground material.
You know of course the Showwalter book on CNs? I have just reread
Middlemarch after many years, interesting rereading , had forgotten how
unsparing the narrator is!
all best wishes
Ann

I am currently involved in a research project on fictional texts which represent higher education experiences (including campus novels) - but my focus is on how they can be used to examine concepts in graduate education, rather than in the context of EAL specifically. Nonetheless - I can see that we are both concerned with the possibilities that fiction holds for enculturating students into educational roles and environments.

There is also my own piece on supervision in fiction in Arts and Humanities in Higher Education. You should be able to view the full text directly via http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1474022209339957
