ENGLISH FOR ACADEMIC PURPOSES (CRICOS 073678E)
With a special emphasis on formal writing, research and critical thinking, the English for Academic Purposes (EAP) course is designed to develop, practice and refine the skills necessary for further study in certificate, diploma, degree or post-graduate level courses in English.
Students will be guided through various academic processes such as research, developing a thesis statement, scaffolding an essay, and polishing written work to improve the overall standard of a paper. All of this will be done with constant feedback and suggestions so students will be prepared for entry into their chosen tertiary course.

At Discover English I had a very good experience. Teachers and all administrative staff were always keen to help me.
I did a few weeks of General English before EIAP, they were quite useful because it gave me more bases before doing such an advanced course like EIAP. I finished at Discover English after 15 weeks of EIAP. I believe this is the perfect course for those planning to do further studies. EIAP prepares you for more professional English and gives you much confidence when doing academic writing.
I am not an exam person, so not having to take the IELTS test was a huge advantage for me. I studied hard when doing the EIAP Course and now I have a direct entry to William Angliss to start my studies
