#baleap2023 Been an amazing conference and an incredible way to end presenting with @JenMCowell Can’t wait for the next one!

[Meghan Bowling-Johnson @MBowlingJohnson]

@MsMMason Thank you very much!

[Meghan Bowling-Johnson @MBowlingJohnson]

Well… I guess it’s official now!

[Meghan Bowling-Johnson @MBowlingJohnson]

Woke up this morning to the news that @univofstandrews have ranked first in the country on the times uni guide for the first time and this afternoon found out I got a distinction in my dissertation module! Overall a pretty proud day to be a St A student!

I’ve used this resource to show the effect of playing with sentence length in writing for 5 years now. Every time the improvement in the pupils’ writing is staggering 📝

Pleased to announce a new doctoral programme in TESOL at St Andrews. It's an important development for the ELT profession, and I'm very pleased to be leading the programme as we discuss what it means to be a doctoral practitioner. https://t.co/bybDmN1E8w

@Vampirelinguist @blairteacher Thank you for your reply! I will take a look at their website and see if they have anything available publicly.

[Meghan Bowling-Johnson @MBowlingJohnson]

Does anyone know where I can find statistics on the number of students enrolled on a pre-sessional programme within UK institutions? Either for the last 10 years collectively or any individual year in that period.

[Meghan Bowling-Johnson @MBowlingJohnson]

@blairteacher Thank you Blair. I had looked at HESA but I can't find anything related to pre-sessional students specifically. I will have another look though, thank you for your recommendation!

First vaccine done! So relieved and happy to have started the immunisation journey and it couldn’t have been an easier or nicer process! #thankyounhs

[Meghan Bowling-Johnson @MBowlingJohnson]

As a reminder, my research is looking at how technology can be used to facilitate intercultural communicative competence in EAP pre-sessional practice.

[Meghan Bowling-Johnson @MBowlingJohnson]

Huge thank you to anyone who has filled in my dissertation survey so far, I really appreciate you taking the time! If you would still like to participate, the survey is open for another week. I sent the survey link out again via BALEAP this morning.

[Meghan Bowling-Johnson @MBowlingJohnson]

@temi_oladipo @tomaszjohn84 If you would like to participate, the survey link is in the email sent through BALEAP this morning. I am trying to not share the link outside BALEAP to try and make sure participants are EAP teachers but it would be great if you could offer your thoughts. Thank you :)

[Meghan Bowling-Johnson @MBowlingJohnson]

Very excited news, my dissertation survey has released this morning! The email was very kindly sent out by Kerry Tavakoli through the BALEAP mailing list! I would be so grateful to any EAP practitioners who would kindly fill in the survey, the link is in the BALEAP email!

[Meghan Bowling-Johnson @MBowlingJohnson]

@themarkcarver @seburnt Neither had I until earlier this year when I was searching for access to ICC and tech books and most of what I wanted was available on there! It's been so valuable so far!

[Meghan Bowling-Johnson @MBowlingJohnson]

This is truly beautiful! #KenmureStreet

Battered old android phone with broken screen lost last night around the Madras rugby club/Old Course area of St Andrews. It has this sweet hound as the screensaver. Please share and help me find it!

When will we stop positioning the arts as something lesser? #Disgusted #valuethearts
