Episode 7: Students as Partners in EAP

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.
