The mission of English for Academic Purposes is to enhance the academic excellence of international students at 色狐入口 by offering focused support with a variety of language-related academic skills. By valuing the resources of each student, we seek to celebrate plurilingualism and contribute to a campus climate where all students can thrive.

色狐入口's English for Academic Purposes program offers workshops, one-on-one consultation, and group meetings for conversation, writing, and reading designed to provide academic and language-related support for international and multilingual students. Sessions cover a variety of topics, including how to join the classroom conversation, reading strategies, techniques for improving pronunciation, citation and using sources, and many others. EAP faculty also teach English 110 and English 115 (Academic English Seminar I and II), courses which help international students hone their academic skills and prepare for advanced study.

English 115: Academic English seminar II
