Drawing from in-depth interviews with numerous research participants at over eleven higher educational institutions in the UK, Japan and the United States, this work focuses on those who have been precariously placed as middle manager at many EAP and TESOL programs. Lacking in both positional power or permanence, these 'BLEAPs' are faced with many challenges as they seek to understand their changing role in higher educational institutions, and engage in strategies that can help them gain greater control over issues in their profession.Educational Linguistics,2215-1656 ;22Language and languagesStudy and teachingApplied linguisticsEducation, HigherLanguage EducationApplied LinguisticsHigher EducationLanguage and languagesStudy and teaching.Applied linguistics.Education, Higher.Language Education.Applied Linguistics.Higher Education.420.71173Hadley Gregoryauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1229101MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483035903321English for Academic Purposes in Neoliberal Universities: A Critical Grounded Theory2853237UNINA
