For the last year, I have been working with Hilary Nesi and Sheena Gardner at Coventry University and Adam Kightley from the British Council to develop some EAP materials for the LearnEnglish website.

The aim of the project was to make use of the findings from the BAWE research – described in Nesi & Gardner (2012) –  to produce some materials to improve the quality of discipline-specific student writing. This is now available at
