Do blended courses impact the validity and rigour of EAP assessments?
Has course design in the post-covid period maintained student engagement?
There has been a significant impact on the EAP courses and we would like to focus on finding answers to certain questions in this matter. It would be important to find out what potential benefits and challenges are related to course design. In addition, attention should be directed at blended courses and their impact on assessment validity. Finally, an issue of students’ engagement should be addressed in terms of the post-covid period. - 2Effect on TeachersHas the isolation caused by online working during covid affected informal teacher collaboration?
Teacher autonomy and opportunities for creativity: The online class, does one size fit all?
Have new practices produced a new work life balance?
Another important matter is related to the pandemic effect on teachers and their workload. We would like to explore whether online isolation has affected teachers’ collaboration. In terms of curriculum design and class interaction, we would like to find out the level of autonomy teachers had and if there was room for creativity. Finally, attention should be paid to work life balance which might have emerged from new practices. - 3Effect on StudentsAre students receiving the same quality of education in the post-covid university?
Has the experience of online learning eroded academic integrity?
Tutorials and feedback: student voice vs. teacher voice?
We would also like to consider students’ experience and any effects the post-pandemic regime has had on them. We would like to explore whether the same quality education is given to students in the post-covid university, touching on the area of academic integrity. Finally, attention should be directed to tutorials and feedback, both spoken and written and evaluate both teacher and student voice in this context.
