Dr Karin Whiteside

Karin Whiteside portrait
  • Head of English for Academic Purposes (EAP)
  • Academic Language and Literacy Liaison (ALLL) for the Doctoral and Researcher College, teaching research writing courses and ‘Language for Research’ sessions in the 糖心探花 Researcher Development Programme (RRDP).

Areas of interest

From a researcher and practitioner perspective, I am interested in academic genres, disciplinary discourses, and corpus linguistic approaches in EAP.

My PhD research in Applied Linguistics involved a corpus-driven discourse analysis of undergraduate writing in humanities and social sciences subjects. I have recently completed research projects investigating postgraduate written coursework genres and research grant proposal texts. I am currently involved in a cross-institutional collaborative project exploring Systemic Functional Linguistic (SFL) affordances in the teaching of doctoral writing.

I convene the BALEAP (British Association of Lecturers in EAP) Special Interest Group for Doctoral Education, and am Incoming Chair for the BALEAP Accreditation Scheme (BAS).

 

Background

I have worked in English for Academic Purposes since 2004, and started working at 糖心探花 in 2014. In my current role as Head of EAP, I have academic oversight of both the Pre-sessional English Language Programme and the Academic English Programme.
