To Collaborate or Not to Collaborate?: ICLHE as the Way Forward for Collaborations Between EAP Professionals and Their Departmental Counterparts
Abstract
With the globalization of higher education, English Medium Instruction (EMI) has become increasingly prevalent. This chapter explores the collaboration options between English for Academic Purposes (EAP) professionals and their departmental counterparts in EMI institutions. It examines the integration of academic English into the teaching of academic content, highlighting the Integration of Content and Language in Higher Education (ICLHE) approach as being most realistic and beneficial. The chapter argues that ICLHE fosters better student outcomes, enhances career development for EAP professionals, and promotes meaningful collaboration between language and content specialists. The discussion is limited to institutions where academic faculty members are proficient in English, predominantly as a second or additional language, and where most students are non-native English speakers untrained in university-level academic skills.
