›› General English for Academic Purposes (GEAP)
August 19 – December 13, 2019
GEAP has been designed by ELC to develop the communication, language and learning skills needed to operate on personal and social levels within an Australian academic context. At higher levels, the GEAP also aims to provide participants with some understanding of university expectations should they choose to continue studying at a tertiary level in Australia. Within this context, a range of learning goals can be accommodated. Some participants intend to go on to do academic study but need to increase their current level of English proficiency; others want to increase their confidence in using English to communicate both professionally and personally in a real-world context.
There are five levels ranging from elementary to advanced. Participants have 20 hours of class time per week. The core program runs for 4 hours per day. In these classes the focus is on the development of participants’ speaking, listening, reading and writing skills.
In addition, participants can also choose a Friday GEAP Specialisation class that best suits their needs, such as Global Communication Skills, Global Citizenship, Australian Studies and Popular Culture, Academic Preparation and TOEFL, IELTS Preparation and Get Ahead in Reading and Writing.
