English for Academic Purposes (EAP)

Course Aim: Program designed to improve English language skills and academic study techniques of students. The language and skills will help students to achieve goals to enter university, TAFE or other colleges in future.

Testing: On entry into the college the student will take a placement test, which determines their English Level and the class to which they are best suited. Students will be given progress tests to help them evaluate their performance. Classroom performance is also monitored and further recommendations are made on areas requiring attention and ways further progress could be made. Throughout a month, students are tested on Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing.

Course Outline: EAP course designed to focus on preparation students for study in an English-speaking country, including: listening and note taking; seminar presentation and discussion skills; speed reading; academic writing; library and internet use; university level vocabulary; preparation for English proficiency examination; academic culture of Australian universities; research techniques; critical thinking; essay writing.

Completion: On completion of their EAP course our students are awarded a certificate, which grades their language level in the four key language skills as well as their classroom performance. The grades relate to detailed descriptors explaining the student's capabilities and learning need.
