English for Academic Purposes (EAP)

Course Details

This course is for anyone aged 18 or over who is preparing to study on a classroom-based VET course where the study is in English, or in a degree course where the English proficiency entry requirements are IELTS 6.0 equivalent. Even if your English is already good enough for further study, an EAP course can help you understand how to do assignments well – and thus make your further study easier. It may even help you get higher grades later! This course covers academic English: the English you will need for further study. It includes speaking, listening, writing and reading, including listening to lectures, speaking in tutorials, giving presentations, reading academic texts, and writing essays and reports. To help you with these skills, there will also be plenty of vocabulary and grammar to help you succeed in your future course.

Course structure: Each level consists of three modules; students may initially enrol for as many of these as they require up to a maximum of 12 weeks per level (24 weeks in total if both levels are studied). Total course duration is 28 weeks, including 4 weeks holiday.
