Show Notes

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. 

However, as Laura discusses, it is easy to take a wonderfully formed partnership in one semester and turn it into drudgery and prescription in the following semester...simply because the partnership and collaboration often get passed over. A collaboration one semester becomes a prescribed learning activity or assessment the next semester.
