Did you know?

One of the best ways to build your English skills is through practice. Fanshawe provides fun ways to socialize and practice speaking English during each level of the program. Outside of the classroom, you can participate in volunteer and leadership opportunities. Students can also go on field trips to different places where you can see and learn more about Canada.

HOW EAP WORKS:

The EAP program includes 10 eight-week levels (two EAP levels per college semester) delivered by 15 full-time and 20+ part-time, highly qualified professors, three of whom hold PhD’s. Each EAP level consists of seven weeks of intensive learning focusing on academic English Language skills and an eighth week of experiential learning activities like workshops, trips and events.
