Approaching Higher Education: English for Academic Purposes

English for Academic Purposes can be seen as a completely different language from the General English most language learners are exposed to.

This presentation will look at ways to prepare for University-level English by covering the research process and various research tools needed.
It will then examine academic discourse and ways to read critically and synthesise ideas to support our students' academic journey.
