You are invited to attend an upcoming live poetry event at Renison University College. This live poetry event will feature two notable Canadian poets from different generations, bill bisset (described by Jack Kerouac as "one of the greatest poets") and MLA Chernoff.

Please join us on Wednesday, November 16th from 2:30-4:00pm in the Chapel of St. Bede at Renison University College.

This event is offered in conjunction with our very own Dr. Daniel Bratton's two sections of ARTS 130, titled "Refuse: Canadian Literature in Ruins" and is open to anyone.

Newly published research by Julia Williams, in collaboration with James Corcoran and Kris Johnston reports the results of a national survey of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) instructors (n = 481) to reveal program characteristics and instructor perceptions of a profession that is often occluded. Research questions for the survey were guided by information gaps made explicit during the last program review for English Language Studies which required a comparison to similar programs. The research was funded by a Renison Research Grant, as well as grants from SSHRC and York University. Many thanks to the EAP instructors in both English Language Studies and the English Language Institute who completed the survey to share their insights into their profession.
