Neil Adam Tibbetts is a coordinator of in-sessional courses within the Centre for Academic Language and Development (CALD) at the University of Bristol, U.K. Timothy Chapman is a Senior Lecturer in English for Academic Purposes and Writing Development within the Centre for Academic Language and Literacies (CALL) at Goldsmiths, University of London, U.K.

"A hands-on guide for practitioners, this book prepares instructors to teach in-sessional English for Academic Purposes (ISEAP) higher education courses. As university cohorts become more diverse, there is demand for in-sessional EAP courses not only to support international students, but also increasingly as a provision for all students. This informative resource explores the varying formats of ISEAP courses and how they are embedded within and alongside students' degree programmes in the UK and beyond. In accessible chapters, authors Neil Adam Tibbetts and Timothy Chapman present illuminating findings drawn from interviews conducted with experts in the field and highlight the challenges that students and practitioners face. Avoiding prescriptive recommendations, Tibbetts and Chapman address different models, placement, and contexts of ISEAP courses at the university level and offer guidance and tools for practice. Covering key topics such as pedagogies, logistical challenges and the wider university context, this book not only provides a roadmap to the often ill-defined but essential domain of ISEAP but also provokes questions and ideas for further reflection, guiding the reader towards a deeper understanding of their role and development in context. Engaging and inviting, Tibbetts and Chapman's helpful text is a necessary resource for teachers to design and lead successful ISEAP courses"-- Provided by publisher.
