There are a lot of EAP resources available online. The following are some highlights that are personal favourites of mine or which have been recommended by other EAP teachers. If you have any suggestions you think should be added, feel free to drop me a line.

The resources are organised into the following categories:

General EAP websites

The following are the two most well-known EAP websites.

The following are some other general EAP websites.

Writing

The following are some general resources for academic writing.

Some useful resources, especially Strategies for Essay Writing.

Writing guidelines from La Trobe University.

Reading

The following sites give information on academic reading.

The following are some sites which provide graded reading material. Although EAP tends to use authentic texts, graded readers can still have a place in the EAP classroom, especially for engaging lower level or younger students.

Speaking

The following sites help with academic speaking skills.

Listening

The following sites help with listening skills. They are mostly general English listening practice, since there are few specialised academic English listening sites. Sites marked with an asterisk * are ones which use YouTube or Vimeo and may not work in all countries.

Free online lectures, mainly in the maths and sciences areas.

Vocabulary

The following sites focus on vocabulary.

The following sites give information on academic vocabulary lists.

An updated list of core academic vocabulary, developed in 2013.

Grammar

Although EAP courses tend not to include a specific focus on grammar, there are some areas which may be focused on, e.g. passive structures for report writing, and students often need remedial grammar practice. The following are some resources for grammar.

Study skills

Reference

The following sites provide useful reference information that could be used in various ways. For example, I've used the CIA World Fact Book to provide students with data to create charts and give presentations.

The British Library online. The Discover and Learn section is especially useful.

The following are some popular online dictionaries (and one thesaurus). There are many more - all major paper dictionaries have online versions. Many online dictionaries now include translation, e.g. the Cambridge dictionary.

In this section of the site we bring you curated collections of images, books, audio and film, shining a light on curiosities and wonders from a wide range of online archives. With a leaning toward the surprising, the strange, and the beautiful, we hope to provide an ever-growing cabinet of curiosities for the digital age, a kind of hyperlinked Wunderkammer - an archive of materials which truly celebrates the breadth and variety of our shared cultural commons and the minds that have made it. Some of our most popular posts include visions of the future from late 19th century France, a dictionary of Victorian slang and a film showing the very talented "hand-farting" farmer of Michigan. With each post including links back to the original source we encourage you to explore these wonderful online sources for yourself. Check out our Sources page to see where we find the content.
