EAPP Program provides an integrated language support program for students. The aim of the program is to equip you with the writing and language skills you need to carry out your studies at ADA.
The program includes Intensive Pre-Curriculum English Program, English Support Courses, One-to-One Writing Consultations, and independent study.
Intensive Pre-Curriculum English Program
This is an eight-week pre-term program that serves as a means to initiate incoming MA students into the academic culture of ADA. Students enrolled in this program are required to take 20 hours of instruction per week. You will take core courses in academic research & writing and oral communication complemented by additional focus on the reading and listening strategies necessary to succeed in an English-medium classroom. You will be asked to take an active role in the classroom by learning through discussing issues with other students in pairs or groups, reporting the results of these discussions to the class, solving problems, and generally sharing responsibility for what happens during the lessons.
This program is composed of the following components:
- Academic Discussion and Presentation
- Academic Research and Writing
- Reading strategies and Vocabulary Development
- Active Listening Strategies
English Support Courses
This program will be provided throughout the graduate study to supplement the content areas (i.e., history, economics, law, environmental policy) with a linguistic focus.
This program is composed of the following components:
- Content Writing and Editing
- Professional Communication
- Critical Reading and Debate
- Advanced Research Writing
- Public Speaking
One-to-One Writing Consultations
This program will be available to ADA students throughout the academic year. During a consultation you will work individually with a writing instructor on a piece of writing that you have prepared for your department, in order to identify and work on those areas of your writing that need improvement.
By working together with your language instructor both in classes and one-to-one consultations, you can identify your individual problematic areas you need to work on independently. Together with ADA library, EAPP Program will create a library with wide variety of materials to help you develop your language skills.
