ESL Programs

English for Academic Purposes (EAP)

The English for Academic Purposes (EAP) Program at the University of Lethbridge provides language learning opportunities for speakers of English as a Second or Other Language (ESOL).

The goal of the program is to prepare students linguistically and culturally for success in their post-secondary academic studies. Students work to build a solid foundation of academic English language skills and knowledge, to prepare them for the language demands of undergraduate course work.

The EAP courses are delivered by a team of qualified and experienced teaching staff who use communicative methodologies, up-to-date resources, and technology to enhance learning in writing, reading, communication, and grammar courses.

We offer three levels of study in our EAP Program:

• Intermediate
• High Intermediate
• Advanced

Each level of study takes one semester (four months) to complete; a placement test on the first day of classes will determine which level you begin in. Our semesters for EAP begin in January, May, and September.

Summer 2010 semester: May 3 - July 22, 2010

Fall 2010 semester: September 8 - December 17, 2010

The costs to study in our EAP program for one semester are outlined below*:

Tuition	$3,483
Recreation	$76.55
Health Insurance	$250
Books & Supplies	$250
Living Expenses	$3,335
Total	$7,394.55

*All costs are listed in Canadian Dollars, and are estimates; actual costs may vary.
