In this paper I will briefly outline two models for the teaching of English for Academic Purposes: the study skills model, which concentrates upon developing student competence in such areas as reading, writing, and note-taking, and the discourse orientated model, which aims to help students understand discourse processes, structures and lexis in their specific disciplines. In relation to the latter, I will also look at a number of content based teaching practices, including Content Based Instruction, which is used in the tertiary sector of education. In reviewing these different approaches, I will also consider the promotion of learner autonomy, which is seen to be an important factor for learner development within the academic community. The descriptions I give will provide the background for the greater part of my paper, in which I will refer to various aspects of two university EAP courses I have facilitated.

Reflection in teacher development is important as it can help both experiencedand novice teachers to better understand the processes theyare involved in. It can also be used to aid evaluation processes. This paperpresents a small scale study that involved undergraduate Englishphilology students from Gdańsk University who were studying for theteacher specialisation. One of its purposes was to trial a strategy forfeedback that could be used to mediate an already existing model ofassessment for students’ taught lessons, which previous to the studyused only a prescribed set of assessment criteria. Another purpose wasto promote a reflective turn in both the student-teacher and academicmentor (myself), which would then inform the discussions that tookplace after each observed lesson. In addition to this, I was interested tofind out if this strategy would generate a suitable quality and quantityof information, so that it might be used for further research. Overall,the strategy proved a useful aid to reflection in relation to the students’teaching practices. As a research tool, it also generated usable data.

DOI: 10.19251/sej/2018.7(6)In an essay on Günter Grass, Salman Rushdie suggests that the migrant experiences a triple disruption involving place, language and behaviour. Rather than being disabling, however, Rushdie [1992, p. 278] views it is empowering, where migrants become something magical, “borne-across humans – (…) metaphorical beings in their very essence.” In the first part of the paper it is sug­gested that Rushdie’s description of Grass as migrant not only gives a useful way of viewing the writer’s work, but also provides a tool for viewing other artists’ work. In doing so, the initial premise is extended to cover the existential alienation of which both Albert Camus and Jean-Paul Sartre write, as well as Gilles Deleuze’s examination of the event. In the second part of the article, in light of these considerations, works by the artist and theatre director Tadeusz Kantor are analysed – Linia Podziału [The Dividing Line, 1966] and Umarła Klasa [The Dead Class, 1975], as well as the writer and playwright Samuel Beckett – Watt [1953], Molloy [1955] and Waiting for Godot [1955]. In the conclusion, it is suggested that even though there may be positive aspects to migrant experience these may not be (or want to be) understood. Key words: migrant, alienation, event, Salman Rushdie, Günter Grass, Tadeusz Kantor, Samuel Beckett
