    Oxford EAP is student-centered which means that students’ needs are taken into account for the creation of the syllabus and the programme of study. The book is aimed at adult learners whose first language is not English, and who come from any academic discipline. Regarding the content, it is selected based on core skills, tasks, and academic language that are shared by most disciplines. This course book presents the content from different angles with different perspectives, allowing students to also develop their critical thinking skills.

All academic language, such as grammar and lexis, are presented with a clear function and examples from texts or videos.

    By the end of each unit, students are expected to be able to recognize and use definitions and explanations in academic texts, understand their importance and how the language is related to these concepts.]]>     2022-09-18 19:04:19 UTC https://padlet.com/Anabella_Raymond/1agfqeur3xi9e1gj/wish/2301831051
