PATHWAY & PARTNERSHIPSPreparing for University demands a high level of academic English. This involves developing a strong command of academic reading, note taking andlecture skills, and of course, academicwriting and research skills. The best way to demonstrate a high level of academicEnglish is to measure these skills againstan internationally recognized assessmentexam. The International English LanguageTesting System (IELTS) is known as theworld’s language profi ciency test because it is so widely used by institutions of higher learning in Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, the United Statesand around the world.
The GV EAP program (Canada only) helpsstudents prepare the skills they need for entering university. Each school has a wide variety of specially designed electiveclasses which focus on study skills, note-taking, presentation, academic writing and research. Students who successfullycomplete this program will be ready to succeed at university.
