English as a Foreign Language

	English for academic purposes
	When using English for academic purposes it is important to be accurate both in speaking and writing. It is, however, very difficult to produce language that is intelligent, appropriate and accurate at the same time. It is therefore important to break down the task into stages: an ideas stage and an accuracy stage.
	Speaking
	When you are speaking, you therefore need to prepare well. Do not prepare only your ideas; prepare your language as well. Write out your spoken presentation in the way that you intend to say it. Written language is different from spoken language. When you have written out your talk, you will need to carefully check it for accuracy.
Writing
An EAP at LondonSAM is a full-time course of 20 weeks’ duration with 15-20 hours of classroom tuition per week. The aim of EAP is to prepare students for life and study at a British University. The course will provide students with practice in communicating academic English (including writing essays and reports), reading academic text, listening to lectures, taking and making notes and developing presentation skills.

The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) measures the ability of non-native speakers of English to use and understand English as it is spoken, written and heard in college and university settings. Most people who take the TOEFL test are planning to study at colleges and universities where instruction is in English. In addition, many government agencies, scholarship programmes, and licensing/certification agencies use TOEFL scores to evaluate English proficiency.

The TOEFL test measures English language proficiency in reading, listening and writing and is offered on computer in most regions of the world. In areas where access to computer-based testing is limited, a paper-and-pencil version of the test is administered.
