English for Academic Purposes
Have you considered studying in Australia as an international student but need to improve your English language skills first? Our English for Academic Purposes (EAP) course is designed to help you excel in your chosen field. Learn to communicate with confidence and improve essential study skills in an English-speaking academic environment.
In our EAP course, we’ve created an adult learning environment that introduces you to university teaching methodologies. You’ll engage in collaborative learning, structured self-study, and student-teacher dialogue just as though you were studying a bachelor degree. You can expect a range of multi-media materials and challenging tasks that encourage you to draw on your future study direction or past career experience.
Our experienced team of teachers will carefully guide your development across the four key language skill sets. Our course is designed to improve accuracy, fluency, and confidence across reading, writing, listening and speaking.
Here are some skills you can expect to develop across these four key areas:
- Speaking: giving presentations, participating in seminars and tutorials, working in groups.
- Listening: listening to lectures, note-taking techniques, listening skills practice.
- Reading: strategies such as skimming and scanning, understanding assignment questions, coping with extended reading.
- Writing: learning to construct paragraphs, essays, reports and summaries, analyses of numerical data and case studies, research and referencing techniques.
