English for Academic Purposes (EAP)

English for Academic Purposes (EAP) certificate program is an intensive, full-time academic pathway program. The program integrates reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills with an academic focus. The curriculum is geared toward non-native speakers of English who want to improve their writing, communication, and critical thinking skills as well as cultural competency.

 

Incoming students take a Level Placement Test to see which level they should start in. Students then progress through levels, adding to their reading, writing, listening, speaking, and grammar skills.

 

English for Academic Purposes is a preparatory program that will offer learners direct entry to most post-secondary programs if students complete the high level with a 70% average, provided that they meet all other admission requirements. No additional tests of English language proficiency will be required.
