This episode addresses the benefits and challenges of utilizing and incorporating students as partners (SaP) or student partnerships in the EAP classroom. Student partnership brings student engagement to a new level as students become collaborators in their own learning development, both with the instructor and their classmates.

A collaboration one semester becomes a prescribed learning activity or assessment the next semester.
