Linguistic homogeneity in English for
Academic Purposes (EAP) programs can be a challenge
to curriculum design and implementation. In university
EAP programs where the majority of students share an
L1 with classmates, instructors sometimes struggle to
balance the use of the L1 and L2 in class. Despite the
potential for immersion, students in these settings may
also socialize primarily in their L1 rather than English,
the target language. These factors demand special
consideration in courses focused on oral production and
comprehension where sustained interaction and
negotiation of meaning is crucial. Ninety percent of the
students in the Intensive English as a Second Language
Program at Michigan Technological University come
from China and share an L1. In this context, the
classroom provides important opportunities for
interaction and negotiation of meaning in the target
language. The program recently redesigned, piloted, and
evaluated a new curriculum. Using examples from the
curriculum and the classroom to present this case, I
argue that linguistically homogeneous classrooms
focusing on oral and aural communication require
different curricula than more diverse EAP settings.
Examples from the development and delivery of the new
listening and speaking curriculum are potentially
applicable in both ESL and EFL settings.
