Canadian University Dubai: English for Academic Porpuse

The English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program is provided to students who have the academic credentials to join a university program, but have yet to demonstrate that they meet the English language proficiency requirements.

The EAP program is an intensive University level certificate, specifically designed to help you prepare for academic life and achieve the necessary English language standards to progress in our academic programs.

EAP Courses

The EAP course you take will depend upon your English language skills at the time of entry. You will need to provide a valid IELTS or TOEFL test score prior to registering for EAP, to ensure that you enter the appropriate program. Without a valid test score, you will automatically be placed in EAP - 101.

The course content for each EAP program is designed to take you from your current level to the corresponding Target IELTS score, in the designated time period, as outlined below.

Program Overview

Our EAP classes are delivered in a friendly, multicultural environment, are student centered, and university-program tailored. Courses are run in conjunction with the University Academic Calendar; please contact the EAP Coordinator for details.

Participants work collaboratively with their instructors and peers to improve their reading, writing, listening and speaking skills in English through a number of up-to-date teaching methodologies. Participants also study academic skills such as note-taking, presentation delivery, and critical thinking.
