Hello,
I came across the following phrase while browzing a kind of "competency framework" for college English instructors published in U.K. (https://www.baleap.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/teap-competency-framework.pdf):
(An EAP teacher will) have a reasonable knowledge of the organizational, educational and communicative policies, practices, values and conventions of universities.
(p. 3, underline mine)
What does this word "reasonable" mean? I assme that this means something like "big enough or large enough in amount, or good enough, although not very big, not many, or not the best", rather than something like "sensible" or "fair".
Any comment will be appreciated!
