| Abstract | The closer alignment of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and Faculty discipline-based programs in English-medium universities has long been advocated in applied linguistics and TESOL. However, many researchers have reported difficulties in the establishment of closer collaboration, difficulties which seem to go beyond practical issues such as workload, timetabling and resources to the underlying epistemological differences between language and 'content' teachers. However, few researchers have attempted to explore these differences, and even fewer have linked such differences to the broader institutional polices and practices. The paper draws on questionnaire, interview and observational data collected as part of a larger ethnographic study of Chinese-background freshmen in an English medium of instruction (EMI) university in Asia. Adopting Layder's (1993; 2006) theory of social domain analysis the paper begins with an examination of some of the underlying assumptions in current conceptualizations of learning in and through English among students and staff in English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and Economics and Finance at the tertiary level, then explores the epistemological differences revealed by such perceptions and practices. The implications of this research for evaluating approaches to collaboration and for setting realistic goals for staff development and institutional change are also explored. (Verlag, adapt.). |
