The General Arts and Science - English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program is an intensive, full-time academic English program that will help you build on and improve your language skills for success in college or university.
EAP will offer you the opportunity to study English in a supportive college environment while you develop effective academic communication skills by focusing on the key areas of reading, writing, listening and speaking. You'll have the opportunity to participate in communicative language activities, interactive exercises, group work and presentations. Through this program, you'll also have access to helpful resources and services such as tutoring, the library and counselling.
The EAP program has adopted a hybrid delivery model. At each level, there is one 23-hour course divided into 2 components: 20 hours for Core Integrated Skills and 3 hours for Specialized Skills. For the Core component, there are three 3-hour in-person classes, one 2-hour in-person class, 6 hours of synchronous sessions (using Teams), and 3 hours of asynchronous activities per week. For the Specialized Skills component, there are 3 hours of synchronous classes (on Teams) per week. The 2-hour lab class per week is in person and is used to enhance students’ technological skills, support students for asynchronous activities, and provide a space for evaluations to be done in person using the lab computers.
