English for Academic Purposes (EAP) General Arts and Science

Our Program

Humber has been offering English for Academic Purposes (EAP) for more than 20 years, and understands what applicants need. This intensive, full-time program includes academic language and study skills, tutoring, and advisement. The curriculum is geared toward non-native speakers of English who want to improve their communication skills for entry into college diploma, degree, and postgraduate programs, or for further professional development.

It consists of:

– 18 hours per week of in-class instruction

– four hours per week of computer-assisted language lab under the guidance of a TESL-certified lab co-ordinator.

Humber faculty are highly-respected, dedicated professionals who have been teaching, publishing and working in the ESL/EAP field for many years. They all hold postgraduate credentials, including solid training in ESL/ EAP teaching.

Our Advisory Committee provides regular review and input of our curriculum ensuring our program is always on the cutting edge of industry developments.
