The objective of an EAP course, then, is to help these people learn some of the linguistic and cultural – mainly institutional and disciplinary - practices involved in studying or working through the medium of English.
it is useful that I use the website is called uefap. this websites including thirteen way of using English  for academic purposes.
The first one is accuracy in EAP,When using English for academic purposes it is important to be accurate both in speaking and writing. It is, however, very difficult to produce language which is intelligent, appropriate and accurate at the same time. the accuracy advice is  for seminars, plan your talk in detail and carefully proof-read it for accuracy. Or, give your talk, transcribe it and then proof-read it.
In writing, proof-read your work.

The second is assessment in EAP,It is usually university policy that no student should be admitted to an academic programme without the necessary competence in the English language to follow his or her chosen scheme of study .

The third Is grammar ,Grammar is an essential component of EAP as, without grammar, there is nothing to hold the vocabulary items together within the texts.

it is important for student to write. Writing is necessary for all students in higher education.

This video told us the UK's key inflation rate hit its highest for more than five years in September, driven up by increases in transport and food prices. The governor of the Bank of England has to write a letter of explanation to the chancellor if the inflation rate is more than 1% either side of the 2% target. "Raising rates before the UK economy is ready risks undermining consumer and business confidence, weakening the UK growth prospects further," he said.]]> 2017-10-15 14:21:30 UTC https://padlet.com/397228102/mcoxy6blap9r/wish/197116560 Unit 3 Self-study 397228102 https://padlet.com/397228102/mcoxy6blap9r/wish/197116654 Take notes：
1.Looking back, it seems most odd that never once in all the years that I was at school was there any general discussion about careers.
2.Often and often in after life I have come across people doing jobs that I had never dreamed of before, and which would have thrilled me had I been told about them at school. 
3.Spending all their time working to a rigid curriculum, the passing of examinations by their pupils gradually became the whole object of their working life.
4. In due course I went to be interviewed by the master of my prospective college. 
5. In fact I am sure I was not, and that my adviser was quite sincere and only trying to be helpful, but I certainly did not feel like arguing the matter.

Summary：
This passage described  the relationship between school and life. Although you study in school, you will work in career. Moreover I do not think that this curiously detached attitude towards education was confined to schools. ]]> 2017-10-15 14:22:24 UTC https://padlet.com/397228102/mcoxy6blap9r/wish/197116654 Unit5 Task Questionnaire 397228102 https://padlet.com/397228102/mcoxy6blap9r/wish/198441828 Information about students on PEP

The data shows that most of students spend 2 to 4 hours after the class everyday.  One third of the students   think that listening skill is the most skill they want to improve. 
Actually,  the PEP Likes a fundamental of main courses. If we pay more attention on PEP, we may be successful in the main courses.
