Recommended Prior LearningStudents are encouraged to undertake a course of revision in grammar with a focus on improving accuracy in their written texts.

L3EAE is a course for students who have or are learning English as an additional language, regardless of length of stay in New Zealand. L3EAE is our highest course within our EAP programme which focuses on the academic language and literacy skills required for further tertiary studying in New Zealand, and is an alternative programme to mainstream English.
This course focuses on meeting the literacy requirements for New Zealand University Entrance. Successful completion of the advanced reading and writing components of this course will equip students with the level and skills of academic English required by those aiming to go on to university, both in New Zealand or overseas. Topics covered in the course are based on global issues and actions with a core focus being a comparison of New Zealand and other countries around the world. Students complete an academic presentation, practise reading texts at the level of first-year university, and learn about resource credibility to write an academic essay that includes APA referencing.
