Ontario College Certificate ENGLISH FOR ACADEMIC PURPOSES (EAP) - GENERAL ARTS AND SCIENCE
The General Arts and Science - English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program is an intensive, full-time academic English program that will help you build on and improve your language skills for success in college or university.
EAP will offer you the opportunity to study English in a supportive college environment while you develop effective academic communication skills by focusing on the key areas of reading, writing, listening and speaking. You'll have the opportunity to participate in communicative language activities, interactive exercises, group work and presentations. Through this program, you'll also have access to helpful resources and services such as tutoring, the library and counselling.
The EAP program has adopted a hybrid delivery model. At each level there is one 20-hour course divided into 2 components: 16 hours for Core Integrated Skills and 4 hours for Specialized Skills. For the Core component there is one 3-hour in-person class and one 4-hour in-person class per week, 6 hours of synchronous sessions (using zoom), and 3 hours of asynchronous activities. For the Specialized Skills component there are 3 hours of synchronous classes (on zoom) and one hour of asynchronous activities. The 2-hour lab class is in person and used to enhance students’ technological skills, provide additional support for asynchronous activities, and for evaluations that can be done in-person using the lab computers.
In a recent Graduate Survey, the EAP program enjoyed a 93.3 per cent graduate satisfaction rate.
When you join EAP, you'll be placed in one of three levels depending on the results of a placement test. Each level will last one semester. There are direct pathways from Level 3 to college communication courses.
