Mathematics and English Support

English Support (English for Academic Purposes)

 

Students who are admitted into one of ASM’s degree program may begin their studies in one of the English for Academic Purposes (EAP) courses.  These courses are intended for students who would like to enhance their English skills or require additional academic English development prior to taking Academic Writing (ENGL 101). The EAP courses are a part of a student’s degree program.

These courses help student success through enhancing their academic English skills across the areas of reading, writing, listening, and speaking. In addition to improving their English language proficiency, students acquire essential academic skills in a business context including critical and creative thinking, problem-solving, academic research, note-taking, setting and achieving goals, time management, teamwork, effective presentations, computer basics, APA citation, and library orientation and information literacy.

There are two courses: EAPP090 and EAPP100. Students will be assigned to the appropriate level based on their English language proficiency level at the time of admission.  Students with an IELTS score equivalent to 5.5 will be enrolled in EAPP090.  Those with an IELTS score equivalent to 6.0 will enroll in EAPP100. Each course has a duration of 12 weeks or one term of study, and both courses are offered every term.  Each EAP course is considered a full-time course load.

Students receive 3 academic credits for EAPP100, which apply towards their degree.  Students may also register for one or two other selected academic courses while taking the EAP courses.
