Dear colleagues, *** Apologies for cross-posting *** We invite you to participate at the 14th Norwegian Forum for English for Academic Purposes summer conference: NFEAP 2020 - Stages Second Call for Papers We are pleased to announce the 14th annual NFEAP summer conference, which will take place on Thursday the 11th and Friday the 12th of June 2020 at Oslo Metropolitan University (OsloMet), Oslo, Norway. The theme for the 2020 conference is Stages. The idea of a stage - as space of performance, period of development or both - opens up rich ways of thinking about academic writing and academic speech. When we talk about stages, we might mean the stages of a text, the stages of a writing process, the stages of a writing career. We might mean writing as performance, or the stages of the seminar room or lecture theatre, where discoursal norms demand that speaking entails a kind of performing. How might EAP teachers and thinkers reckon with the stages - process and performance - of writing, teaching, speaking, research, academic work as a whole? We welcome work that addresses staging or stages in relation to EAP theory and practice. We invite proposals that explore the stages of EAP concepts; EAP training methods, principles, practices and research; needs analysis, syllabus and materials design, teaching strategies and methodological issues; group/interdisciplinary teaching; critical EAP; e-learning and technology; academic identities; academic literacies; any other relevant topics.
