2. In writing, i’ll be more exposed to comparing and contrasting. In listening, i’ll be learning note-taking skills, how to learn to hear the gist of a sentence. In reading, i’ll be learning how to identify main points and analyse the purpose of an article or sentence. Lastly for speaking, i’ll be learning how to deliver my message across clearly. Through, presentations, discussions and debates. 

3. 12.5%

4.I would have failed the assessments in semester one

5. It teaches me paragraph writing & topic sentence which makes sentences more organised and coherent. It also boosts your referencing and citation skills.

2. In writing, I will be learning the structure of an essay and appropriate planning. Note taking and critical analysis would be shown in terms of listening skills. Next, reading skills would mainly be the identification of main points. Lastly, I will learn how to enunciate words clearly and increase my academic vocabulary.

EAP is not a course that includes only grammar and it is definitely not a waste of time.

2. In writing, I will be able to gain the skill of linking words and phrases with a proper structure. While in reading, I will learn to annotate articles and analyse them. Throughout the lessons, it will also get me prepared for lectures in listening for gist or details. Lastly, being interactive in classes will help me improve my pronunciation and vocabulary.
