This focus of this blog is discuss all things iEAP related. iEAP is a an intensive Academic English program for students who are exiting high school in Calgary and entering university. We will run our pilot project in the summer of 2010. This course focuses on preparing multilingual students for university success by focusing on the development of academic and linguistic strategies and skills.
I am an instructor with the EAP (English for Academic Purposes) Program at the University of Calgary and I am currently working and a unique new project. I am currently teaching one class (EAP 1 - Reading) and spending the rest of my time designing the iEAP program.
This program is generously funded by Alberta Employment and Immigration. The grant recipient is my supervisor, Dr. Hetty Roessingh. I am working together with Dr. Geoff Pinchbeck on this project.
We are all really excited about iEAP, because it is the first project of its kind and targets a large and growing group of students in Calgary.
It must had been very hard to prepare materials for our iEAP class. I am glad I took this class because it is very helpful and I learned more things in this class than I did in my 3 years of high school English.
