English For Academic Purposes
This course is designed to prepare students to undertake studies in Senior High School, TAFE or University. Emphasis is placed on essay and report writing as well as seminar presentations.
The English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program offered at Applied Scholastics Training Centre is designed to familiarise upper intermediate and advanced students with the cultural norms/ values of tertiary institutions in Australia; enable students to gain the necessary linguistic skills/ competencies needed for successful tertiary study and enable students to develop the necessary study skills and learning strategies needed for successful tertiary study.
EAP is 12-24 weeks and on successful completion, a Certificate of Attainment is awarded leading to university or TAFE studies. Academic/ Language Tasks are embedded within a series of general themes of interest and use to the student such as The Australian Political System.
