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 United Kingdom 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 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.
The expansion of the European Union in 2004 has had significant
consequences for both existing and new members of the Union. New
member states are assimilating into a new institutional and policy
framework, while the changing geography of Europe provides a
different context for policy development in pre-2004 member states.
One of the more important fields in which these changes are
impacting is regional development. The admission of the new
countries changes patterns of economic and social disparities
across the territory of the European Union, which in turn demands
that existing approaches to regional development are reconsidered.
An approach which has proved to be one of the most innovative is
spatial planning. This book brings together a team of academics and
policy makers from across the new Europe involved in regional
development and spatial planning. Providing insights into different
approaches, it offers a valuable opportunity to compare experiences
across European borders.

This book examines some of the evolving challenges faced by EU
regional policy in light of enlargement and to assess some of the
approaches and trends in terms of territorial development policy
and practice that are emerging out of this process. Focusing on the
experiences on Central and Eastern Europe, these chapters reflect
on the diversity of approaches to spatial planning and the the
politics of policy formation and multi-level governance operations
- from local to trans-national agendas.
Promoting increased awareness and understanding of these issues
is the main purpose of the book, as well as harnessing the
extensive capacity and 'knowledge' within these countries that can
greatly enrich the discourse within an enlarged 'epistemic
community' of European spatial planning academics, practitioners
and policy-makers. The recently acquired CEE dimension provides a
unique opportunity to examine the evolution of existing 'epistemic
communities' as well as to explore the potential emergence of new
ones..
