College & university pathway (EAP)
Hanson Language School offers two streams of the English for Academic Purposes (EAP) Program.
| Full-Time EAP | Part-Time EAP |
|---|---|
| 10 weeks | 15 weeks |
| 30 hours per week | 20 hours per week |
Students taking our program from outside Canada can choose the part time option.
One option is the General EAP, and the other is the College EAP. Both streams are preparatory programs designed to develop core English language skills within a post-secondary context, enabling students to approach post-secondary studies with the required foundational English language competencies.
The English for Academic Purposes Program (EAP) consists of language learning in the context of academic subjects such as sociology, economics, psychology, literature, and law. They are specifically designed to develop your academic study and participation skills, while improving your English to a level that will ensure your success in further post-secondary studies.
“Our English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program is designed to provide students with the language skills necessary to thrive in academic settings. Through comprehensive instruction in academic writing, reading, speaking, and listening, our program equips students with the tools they need to succeed in university-level coursework. By focusing on critical thinking, research skills, and effective communication, our students not only improve their English proficiency but also develop the academic competencies required for success in higher education. Join us and unlock your full academic potential with our tailored EAP program.”
