EAP 500 English for Academic Purposes: Writing, Research and Presentation

This course builds on students’ existing English language proficiency in a college context. Through readings, assignments, structured activities, and peer collaboration, students will be able to increase their command of academic terminology, expand their graduate-level research and information literacy skills, develop and hone their critical reading, listening, speaking, and presentation skills, practice collaborative work with peers, and produce graduate-level academic writing. Course content and assignments will explore a diverse collection of topics that will further develop students’ vocabulary and grammar alongside writing style and usage. Students are expected to tailor the opportunities provided by the course to their own academic situation. (6)
