English for academic purpose: students book
English for Academic Purposes Now! has been created for you as a course book in
English for Academic Purposes. It has been written with the intention of fulfilling a
need for a single book which includes the many skills that you will require in order
to be successful in English tertiary education (education after high school or post-
secondary education). If you wish to attend college or university, or to study in an
English speaking country where you will need to have Upper Intermediate or
Advanced level skills, or if you are a native speaker of English who would like to
expand your repertoire of English language skills and prepare for university, this book
will assist you to achieve your goals.
As experienced English language teachers ourselves, we have brought to the writing
of EAP Now! our own understanding of the learning difficulties and cultural
challenges that you will face as you undertake study in a language other than your
first. There are intellectual shifts which may be required of you as you learn new ways
to present your ideas and arguments in writing and speaking contexts; you will learn
to question texts rather than accept them as absolutely always correct; you will make
decisions as to the importance of the World Wide Web for your study; you will
increase your ability to become independent learners and you will strive for cross-
cultural understanding and critical cultural consciousness as a result of your studies
within this course.
Learning the academic skills necessary to succeed in a tertiary environment can be an
arduous, difficult and complex process. You, the student, and your teacher will set out
together on a journey that this course book provides. You will work together in order to
attain these skills. They are the skills and thinking modes that you will need in all the
various academic environments (universities and other institutions) into which you are
heading.
