WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?

The EAP course is designed to prepare students for study in any English-speaking institution where academic literacy in English is required, such as a university or VET College. Skills developed include: listening and note-taking, paraphrasing and summarizing, seminar presentation and discussion skills, analysis of the features of academic writing, university-level vocabulary, the development of efficient research techniques, and essay writing.

Students who wish to use an EAP certificate to articulate to one of our partner institutions will need to complete the full 12-week course and pass all assessments, but we also welcome students who want to study academic English for a shorter period to become aware of the differences between using English in everyday social situations and interacting professionally in more formal situations.

You need to be ready for Upper Intermediate level to join the class, but then ‘the sky’s the limit’. You may be aiming for an IELTS Band score equivalent of 5.5 but we also cater for students who need to achieve a Band 6- 6.5+. The language skills and study techniques you learn in EAP will also help in the preparation for international English proficiency examinations, such as IELTS or PTE because EAP focuses on improving your ability to cognitively engage with what you hear or read and on building critical thinking skills.

WHAT SKILLS WILL YOU GAIN?

Our highly experienced EAP teachers specialise in building academic literacy and giving you the tools to communicate appropriately in more formal settings. They will also focus on helping you to be an organized and independent learner by teaching you good time management, how to maintain self-motivation, and set achievable goals.
