Low-resourced self-access with EAP in the developing world: the great enabler?

Sarah Waite

EFL/ESP teacher since 1981 and has worked in France, Mexico, and Nicaragua as well as in Britain. She has an MA in English Language Teaching and is especially interested in English for Medical Purposes and socio-cultural aspects of EAP. At present she works for the English Language Unit, University of Liverpool.

While self-access facilities have become widespread in the ‘developed’ world, in low-income countries decision makers are often discouraged from developing them. This paper explores the appropriateness of classroom and centre-based self-access in very low-resourced EAP contexts, and argues that the effectiveness of moves towards self-access learning depends on decisions from within the teaching team, made in the course of staff development and sustained by team discussion and learner preparation.
