Recommended Prior Learning

Students are encouraged to undertake a course of revision in grammar with a focus on improving accuracy in their written texts. To extend and develop students' written texts, areas of revision can include compound and complex sentences, conjunctions, adverbial and prepositional phrases, and relative clauses.  

L3EAP is a course for students who have or are learning English as an additional language, regardless of length of stay in New Zealand. It is a course within our EAP programme which focuses on the academic language and literacy skills required for success in New Zealand, and is an alternative programme to mainstream English.

This course prepares students with the English skills necessary for academic study at senior school levels. The focus is on developing more advanced language skills required for academic writing and inquiry-based learning. In addition, students also learn the skills required for formal speaking and presenting. Students develop an understanding of the differences between every day language and academic language, and learn to language appropriate to each setting. This course also begins key preparation for success in the following course L3EAE, which is our EAP course focusing on university entrance.
