English for Academic Purposes

The EAP course is ideal for international students intending to go into vocational training at diploma level or advanced diploma level, higher education at undergraduate level, or post-graduate level. It is designed for students who have completed Upper Intermediate English (CEFR level B2).

The course assists learners to improve the macro-skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing for use in academic contexts. The main focus is on developing skills that learners are likely to need as well as overall awareness of academic life, including key features of tertiary education in Australia and other English-speaking countries.

The course covers 10 weeks and involves 20 hours of class time per week, with classes running Monday to Thursday from 8:45am to 2:45pm (5 hours per day).

No, the course is designed to fit students who have done Upper Intermediate but may or may not want to do the IELTS exam. You can do the EAP course before or after the IELTS Prep course, or instead of it.

Classes are held Monday to Thursday. Each day includes Lesson 1 from 8:45am–10:45am, a break from 10:45am–11:00am, Lesson 2 from 11:00am–1:00pm, a lunch break from 1:00pm–1:45pm, and Lesson 3 from 1:45pm–2:45pm, totalling 5 hours of class time per day and 20 hours per week.
