| Details | This chapter explores the experiences of six educators and course coordinators working within an English for academic purposes (EAP) program at a private university in Western Japan. The authors leverage an action-research approach to examine their own narratives surrounding the challenges of adjusting to emergency remote teaching (ERT) during the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors wrote narratives regarding the daunting task of using digital tools to convert face-to-face content into ERT. The authors coded each other's narratives and then used the auto-hermeneutic approach to analyze the data to find recommendations for improving pedagogy and practice. The chapter offers insight into best practice for those embedded in EAP or other similarly interconnected, multi-faceted content higher education programs. |
