Development of English Across the Curriculum
The second International Conference on English Across the Curriculum (EAC) was held at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The conference and the pre-conference workshops explored ways to enhance students’ English literacy in discipline content subjects via collaborations between academics from different disciplines and language teaching units. The conference aimed to include multiple perspectives on EAC and Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) and expands the scholarship in this increasingly important aspect of education. Academics and educators from universities and schools were welcome.
EAC 2018 was held at Hong Kong Polytechnic University. It was organized by the English Language Centre at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
