We are now looking ahead to , and the 11th conference, a gathering of English for Academic Purposes EAP professionals, researchers and students from all over the world, and a forum for sharing ideas and best practice. Our next conference focuses on the non-linear character of learning and the value of reflecting on practice as both teachers and learners. Reflection is increasingly integrated into teacher education programmes and is considered an essential part of the learning process for our students. The topic of reflection is clearly open to a number of interpretations, and this adds to the richness of a day spent exploring it with colleagues from around the world in a variety of contexts.

EAP Pack 2

Language learners' requesting behaviour has been the focus of pragmatic research for some time, including that of Chinese EFL learners, who constitute a large proportion of English speakers globally.

The present study replicates elements of Wang , focusing on the use of formulaic expressions and exploring the differences between advanced Chinese EFL learners and native speakers of English with regard to the use of request formulae. The study also investigates whether significant exposure to the target language in country is connected to a more native-like use of request formulae. Wang's Discourse Completion Task was adopted to elicit request utterances from three groups of participants: advanced Chinese EFL learners studying in China at home students and in the UK study abroad students , respectively, and native speakers of British English.

The findings show that, although in some respects study abroad students in the UK employed request formulae in a more native-like manner compared to at home students in China, neither group showed close approximation to the request behaviour of the native speaker group. The findings are discussed in the context of current debates, including interlanguage variations, interactional competence, and native speaker norms and intelligibility.
