English for Academic Purposes (EAP)
Acquire the Necessary English Skills for Post-Secondary Education
Ours is an international campus – one where you’ll meet students from around the world studying English in preparation for post-secondary education. We’ve been helping students attain the English proficiency required for college and university for more than 20 years, and some of our recent graduates are now pursuing Bachelor of Arts degrees right here at Providence!
The English teachers at Providence are the best. They find out your characteristics and use them to teach. If you like art, they use art. If you like music, they use music. It’s why I learned English so fast. I was a level-2 when I came in January 2015 and now I’m a level-8!
Program Details
Entrance Requirements
TOEFL or IELTS (or any other official score) is required. English is the language of instruction at Providence. All students whose mother tongue is not English must submit an official test score as part of registration. The Modern Language Insitute will convert your score to Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) for placement. Any student arriving on campus without submitting an official score will automatically be placed in the EAL (English as an Additional Language) program.
University College
CLB8 is required for entrance into any undergraduate programs. After completing CLB8, if a student successfully completes one semester of studies at Providence University College (minimum of 4 courses), that student will have assumed CLB9 without further testing.
Seminary
CLB9 is required for entrance into graduate or seminary studies.
Class Information
Classes are offered from Monday to Thursday in the morning and afternoon for 14 weeks between September and December and another 14 weeks between January and April. With class sizes of 6-12 students you’ll receive personalized attention and you will also be able to participate in campus activities such as music, sports and other campus recreation.
