Certificate in General Arts and Science 1 Year (English Language Studies)

General Arts and Science - 1 Year (English Language Studies) is a full-time English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program designed to provide a direct route from English language learning to post-secondary studies (both college and university level) with no further language testing required.
The EAP program includes 10 eight-week levels (two EAP levels per college semester), and each EAP level includes seven weeks of intensive training that focuses on building academic English language skills in grammar, reading, writing, listening, speaking and pronunciation, with an eighth week composed of experiential learning activities like workshops, excursions and events that provide plenty of opportunities to practice all the skills you’ve learned. In order to go to the next EAP level, students are required to achieve a minimum grade of 70%. In this program, you will:
Learn from highly qualified professors;
Build strong academic English skills;
Start at the level that suits your current ability;
Learn how to be successful in Canadian classrooms;
Plan the next steps in your academic path.

One of the best ways to build English skills is through practice. Fanshawe provides students with fun ways to socialize and practice speaking English during each level of the program. Outside of the classroom, students are encouraged to participate in volunteer and leadership opportunities.
