Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

EAP has changed over the last 30 years as new insights into academic discourse have informed the content ofcourses across the Anglophone world. However, this paper will argue that the biggest drivers of change in comingdecades will be changes to education globally that will see new generations of students commencing their EAPstudies from a higher initial level of English competence, and also studying in different locations and in differentinstitutions. Globalisation is causing an increasing number of countries to rethink their English language educationpolicies, and this will change the profile of students exiting secondary education in those countries. This combinedwith the emergence of a variety of new institutions offering higher education in English will reshape the global EAPlandscapes and provide new challenges and opportunities for the EAP profession. This paper explores these changesand predicts how they will shape EAP in the future.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
