学术英语课程

All of us at Solebury feel incredibly lucky to have students from all over the world here. They contribute to Solebury being a diverse environment, and are wonderful both in and out of the classroom.

Some of our international students are able to be immediately successful here without any 英语 support. Others need some help during their first year or two here to increase their 英语 proficiency so that they can be successful here and eventually in college. For the students who need some extra support in developing their 英语 proficiency, we have the 学术英语课程 (EAP).

The 学术英语课程 (EAP) is designed to help International students sharpen their 英语 proficiency skills in reading, 写作, 听, 和口语. This program has two distinct overarching goals:

1. To maximize student success during their years at 韦德娱乐app下载地址

2. To give these students the skills they need to thrive in an American University

Students applying to Solebury with a TOEFL score under 90 will be evaluated by our EAP Director to determine what, 如果有任何, 他们需要的EAP支持水平.

Students in the EAP program will take either 1 or 2 EAP classes as part of their overall schedule.

These classes will come from two modules: 1 which is skill-centered, and 1 which is a Humanities focused content centered course.

Due to the individualized nature of these courses and the extra support they provide students, the cost of the EAP program is $2000 per course.

Note: Humanities offerings could alternate from year to year.

The EAP program allows us to meet students where they are. 在索伯里的第一年, the amount of EAP classes needed will be determined by an evaluation with our EAP Director. First year International students may need 1 or 2 EAP classes, or if their 英语 proficiency allows them to do so, 在没有EAP支持的情况下进入索伯里.

Students who are in the EAP program in their first year at Solebury will have a conversation with the EAP Director to determine what academic program is best for them for their second year.
