This course is offered for students who are new to English Language learning. Students will learn the basics of English through practicing reading, writing, speaking and listening. Passing this class will result in a credit. 

English for Academic Purposes provides opportunities for English as an Additional Language (EAL) learners to develop and apply academic language within meaningful cross-curricular contexts. EAP 20L provides students with the opportunity to explore global issues (e.g., environmental and social) that impact the world. In this course students will research topics of personal interest, make connections with their own worldview and present information to their classmates as a means of persuading them to believe in what is important to them. 

These courses have the same outcomes and themes as the regular English, Science, and History courses. However, only English as an additional language students will be in the class, allowing the teacher (an EAL specialist) to use instruction and assessment strategies more appropriate for the English language learner. Students earn a credit for each course upon successful completion.
