English for Academic Purposes

 

The English for Academic Purposes course is designed for undergraduate and graduate students who wish to improve their English language skills so that they can effectively participate in an academic environment.  

 

3iMobile teaches this course using a convenient and effective format that has been fine-tuned over the years.  The student works with a course book, accesses web-based lesson materials, and has private individualized one-on-one lessons with an English Language Instructor over the telephone.  The Language skills that are addressed include: listening, speaking, vocabulary, grammar, reading and writing.

 

The lessons in this course provide the students with practice in effective speaking skills. They are taught how to lead and participate in discussions as well as how to state a point of view and respond to opposing viewpoints. In the process, students increase their vocabulary and speaking fluency.

 

To improve writing skills, the instructor will assign writing assignments to the student.  The focus will be on the general characteristics of academic writing as well as typical patterns in academic prose.

 

The instructor also helps the student improve their reading strategies. They give them advice on how to increase reading speed, do critical analysis and predict and evaluate points of views while reading text.

 

With the 3iMobile approach, the student doesn't have to travel anywhere to attend the classes.  The Instructor will call the student and conduct the lesson over the telephone.

 

3iMobile offers a one-month refresher course, an intensive one-month course and a regular 3-month course.  All one-on-one lessons with the instructor are half an hour in duration.
