Abstract The Cara Syria Programme has been developed to support Syrian academics who have had abandon their academic positions due to the conflict in Syria and who have seen their careers compromised as a result. The Programme offers a means to re-establish their academic identities and develop new skills through participation in the learning activities and workshops provided on the Programme itself and through potential research collaborations with academics in universities in the UK. A key element is the training in English for Academic Purposes (EAP), which is delivered in weekly online lessons and intensive language workshops in Turkey. Both the online teaching and the workshops are staffed by volunteers working in language teaching and specifically in English for Academic Purposes. One of the core principles of this teaching is to pitch content in a way that is intellectually motivating and relevant in terms of the participants’ academic identities, but scaffolded to take into account language proficiency levels, which can be as low as CEFR A1. Over the last eighteen months the technology, administrative structures, and language materials suitable for learners at all levels between A1 and C1 have been developed, and the process mapped to ensure sustainability.

叙利亚卡拉计划–将学术英语教学与学术和研究技能开发相结合

摘要卡拉叙利亚计划的制定是为了支持叙利亚学者,他们因叙利亚冲突而放弃了学术职位,并因此而遭受了职业生涯的损害。该计划通过参与该计划本身提供的学习活动和讲习班,以及与英国大学学者的潜在研究合作,提供了一种重建其学术身份并开发新技能的方法。一个关键要素是学术目的英语(EAP)培训,该培训在土耳其的每周在线课程和强化语言研讨会上进行。在线教学和讲习班均由从事语言教学,特别是学术目的英语教学的志愿者组成。该教学的核心原则之一是以一种在参与者的学术身份方面具有智力动机和相关性的方式来介绍内容,但要考虑到语言能力水平,这可能要低至CEFR A1。在过去的18个月中,已经开发了适合A1和C1之间所有级别的学习者的技术,行政结构和语言材料,并确定了过程以确保可持续性。
