About the course
English for Academic Purposes (EAP) is an intensive language and culture course, designed for non-native speakers of English who have been admitted to an undergraduate or graduate degree program at the University of Virginia. Prospective UVA research associates/visiting scholars are also eligible for the program. Additionally, the EAP program is only willing to consider applicants who are affiliated with UVA. Participants fine-tune the language skills required for success in U.S. higher education through exercises in academic writing, academic reading and vocabulary development, listening comprehension and note-taking, classroom discussion strategies, and presentation skills. Throughout the EAP program, participants work with content from their intended field of study or research. A pronunciation assessment is conducted with follow-up work assigned as needed. The English for Academic Purposes Program, ESL 915, is one of nine intensive language programs in the Summer Language Institute, which is organized by the University of Virginia's Office of the Summer and Special Academic Programs.
