Description:

Humber’s English for Academic Purposes (EAP) certificate program is an intensive, full-time academic pathway program. The curriculum is geared toward non-native speakers of English who want to improve their language competence and fluency in writing, communication and critical thinking skills for entry into most college diploma, degree and graduate certificate programs or for further professional development. The program focuses on communicative academic English and integrates listening and reading (receptive skills) and speaking and writing (productive skills), together with in-person and virtual classroom interaction and mediation language activities and strategies, to support students in achieving their language goals. You will benefit from innovative language study skills and accessible individual tutoring support.
