What is EAP?
EAP, short for English for Academic Purposes, is the English students need for success in academic (usually university) study. It is a discipline usually studied by international students before they begin a course of study at university, although in fact the skills involved in EAP are useful for all students engaged in academic study, including native speakers. Examples of what EAP includes are:
- writing academic reports and essays;
- citing your work to avoid plagiarism;
- reading and note-taking;
- critical reading;
- giving presentations;
- taking part in seminar discussions;
- listening to lectures;
- taking effective notes.
More information on what EAP is can be found in the About EAP section.
Who is the website for?
As the name suggests, the main focus of EAPFOUNDATION.COM is the foundations or basics of EAP. The website is primarily intended for students who are undertaking a foundation year programme or a pre-sessional programme in preparation for full university study. The website should also, however, be useful for students who are already studying at university and who need to brush up on their academic English skills, as well as students who are preparing for university study but who have never formally studied EAP before. The wealth of information, activities and exercises mean it should also prove a valuable resource for EAP teachers.
About the author
My name is Sheldon Smith and I am an EAP teacher and academic manager working in Guangzhou, China. I have been teaching EAP since 2003, most of that time working with Chinese students who plan to study at university overseas. Although I grew up in England and all of my schooling took place there, I was born in Singapore, where I lived for the first year and a bit of my life. The Orient is in my blood, and the Far East is where most of my working life has been spent. My teaching and programme management in China have helped almost two thousand students achieve their dream of studying at an overseas university, mainly in the UK, the USA, and Australia.
My progression to EAP teacher is an unusual one. I originally studied pure mathematics at undergraduate level, but my heart was never in it, and I spent my university years reading literature rather than course books and dreamed of being a writer. Years as an aspiring writer of novels (more of which here) helped to hone my skills with the English language. I still keenly remember the hours spent in my local library, researching facts for my books and conning dictionaries to check the usage of my vocabulary, in much the same way that my students do. A Cambridge University DELTA and a Masters in Educational Leadership have given focus to my teaching and management skills, but it is fair to say that the creativity of a writer of fiction, and the analytical skills needed by a mathematician, have also served me well in my role as a teacher, academic manager, and web designer.
I hope you enjoy the site, and find it useful, either for your study (if you are a student) or work (if you are a teacher).
