English for Academic Purposes programs are 8 week intensive English programs for highly motivated students who intend to enter university degree programs (undergraduate or graduate) in the US. The primary focus of the EAP is on developing the language, study, and cross-cultural skills required to succeed in American higher education. The program also prepares students for the challenges of the application and admissions process, and offers students the opportunity to gain insight into the U.S. university system, instructor expectations, and student responsibilities. Business Case Program uses business cases, videotaping, and public speaking techniques to help students develop the speaking skills and confidence to become more effective participants in group discussions. The Case Discussion classes use cases to focus on improving language skills and participation techniques through simulations of team bargaining, presentation sessions, and running meetings. In the Case Skills classes, the concentration is on helping students improve the speaking, listening, leadership and writing skills necessary for presenting cases. In addition, students receive instruction in business writing skills: writing business memos as well as a business plan and a marketing report, and using Power Point to prepare agendas and presentations.
