MIT English for Academic Purpose (EAP1-2)
Our EAP program will help you build the academic English skills needed to study in Australia – such as writing a research report, case study, or giving an oral presentation.
We will help you lay the foundation in the language competencies relevant to the Australian academic environment.
The program is established around the four key macro skills: reading, writing, speaking, and listening.
The course will help you:
