Everyday speaking skills

English for Academic Purposes (EAP)

Code: 064230K

Are you preparing to study at an Australian university?

Let our English for Academic Purposes prepare you for the level of language you will encounter in higher level education.

Why do we have a separate course for students who are aiming to enrol in an Australian university?

Simple: the type of English language used at university is considerably different from the English you use when you go shopping or out with friends.

Learn formal reading and writing

University texts use much more formal language than everyday English. Not to mention, correct spelling and grammar is also an important grading factor in assignments.

All of this means that it’s more important than ever that you have a strong command of the English language when reading and writing.

English for Academic Purposes focuses on teaching you all of these language skills.

We won’t just expand your vocab and improve your grammar – we will also teach you strategies to help understand university resources, as well as how to structure your own assignments and essays.

Preparing and making presentations

As part of your university degree, you may have to stand up in front of class and make a presentation.

It can make you feel incredibly tense and nervous – after all, fear of public speaking affects 75% of us!

While we can’t help you overcome your fear, our English courses in Melbourne will teach you how to craft effective presentations and speeches.

Classes tailored for your required IELTS score

IELTS is broken down into several grades (called “bands”), with many of the applications that require IELTS asking for a specific IELTS score.

For example, the University of Melbourne requires all students to obtain a minimum 6.0 IELTS score when enrolling (though 6.5 and above are preferred).

It’s because of this that English for IELTS Preparation offers classes for different IELTS bands depending on what score you need to achieve.

Tell us what IELTS band you need to achieve, and we will place you in a class that focuses on preparing you for your test.
