English for Academic Purposes(EAP) courses are designed to provide students with the language skills necessary for success in academic settings, particularly in English-speaking institutions. These courses aim to equip students with the ability to comprehend and communicate effectively in an academic context, including understanding lectures, reading academic texts, participating in discussions, writing research papers, and giving presentations.
The primary goal of EAP courses is to help non-native English speakers acquire the language proficiency needed to excel in their academic studies in English-medium institutions.
They are typically intended for students who are preparing to pursue higher education or academic research in English-speaking countries or institutions.
