What is English for Academic Purposes?Offered at both our Brisbane and Gold Coast campuses, Langports’ English for Academic Purposes (EAP) combines IELTS Preparation and Academic English in an intensive course. This provides students the opportunity to improve their English skills and has the additional advantage of preparing them for further studies in Australia.

The course has been designed for delivery over 12 weeks, with the expectation that students will exit at an IELTS score which will allow them to meet the entry requirements of pathway institutions. Students are taught how to complete tasks and assignments expected at a university, including 2000 word academic essay and individual and group presentations.

Attendance at all classes is compulsory.

EAP certificates are only awarded to students whose attendance is over 90%.

What is Direct entry pathway?Students who successfully complete the EAP course with results equivalent to our partner schools’ IELTS requirement may also be able to enter directly into their courses. Our partner tertiary institutions include:

Natalia, Colombia.From my point of view, the EAP program is an excellent option for students who are interested in applying to any tertiary education program in Australia, and in improving their academic skills.

Langports also provides us with a variety of activities allowing us to improve our level, make new friends and enjoy the facilities and attractions of Brisbane.

I now feel prepared to take the IELTS exam, and I have more tools to achieve the challenge of doing a masters degree in my second language.

Hans, TaiwanAfter 12 weeks of studying in EAP Program, I improved my IELTS score to an overall 7.0! It is really amazing! If anyone asks me how I did it in such a short period of time, I will give all the credit to my teacher, EAP and Langports!

Hans is now studying Sport Management at Griffith University.

Over the past 5 years, with our expertise in IELTS Preparation and Academic English, we have helped students around the world to achieve their academic goals with outstanding results.

We keep in touch with our EAP alumni and know that they are living an exciting life. Some are doing Masters of Business, Management, Sports Science and Engineering Design at prestigious universities including UQ and QUT, while some are back in their own country serving in managerial roles.
