From the Inside Flap
English for Academic Purposes: EAP Now! (Students’ Book) has been carefully written by Kathy Cox and David Hill to provide the required academic skills for success in English-speaking tertiary institutions.

It takes students from Upper Intermediate to Advanced level. Although designed specifically for students from countries where English is not the native language, the book’s focus on academic skills means it is also extremely useful for native speakers of English who are preparing for college or university study.

Unique Features:
* Speaking, Writing, Reading and Listening for EAP are included in a single course book.
* Extra EAP skills are also included: Grammar, Critical Thinking, English for the Internet Age and Learner Independence and Study Skills.
* All these skills are thematically linked within each unit.
* Tasks guide students through realistic situations and assignments, simulating those they will find at university or college.
* The variety of tasks and approaches means that multiple intelligences and a range of learning styles are catered for.
* The cross-cultural approach helps students to communicate across cultures and utilises their individual experiences.
* Models are provided for academic texts (including various kinds of essays), plus guidance and essay questions for practice.

Available on the accompanying Class Audio Cassettes or Class Audio CDs (which are linked to the Students’ Book) are recordings of:
* Lectures, tutorials, academic requests, interviews and drama
* A variety of accents augmenting students’ listening skills

English for Academic Purposes: EAP Now! provides 240 hours of comprehensive student practice—a complete EAP course.

A table at the back of the book shows students how tasks can be used to practise for the four sections (reading, writing, speaking and listening) of the IELTS test.
