English for Academic Purposes Program
The English for Academic Purposes (EAP) Program is part of the English Department in the
Indiana University School of Liberal Arts at IUPUI. The EAP Program is designed to provide
the language support and assistance that undergraduate and graduate students need to fully
participate and succeed in their respective fields.
High-intermediate and advanced EAP courses are offered to students who have been admitted to
IUPUI. Most EAP students are international students on a visa in the U.S. Other non-native
speakers of English can opt to take EAP courses to improve their English academic skills. EAP
courses are small in order to allow maximum student-teacher interaction in a student-centered
communicative teaching approach. Individual attention and conferences are provided as the
need arises.
By IUPUI policy, most international students must take the EAP Placement Test prior to
registration for classes even if the TOEFL test has been taken. The student’s letter of admission
from the Office of International Affairs will indicate if s/he is required to take this test. Because
this is a placement test used to accurately determine English language skill level, students do not
need to “prepare” for it. The scores are used to assign EAP classes that best meet students’
academic needs that will provide favorable English experiences necessary for a successful career
at IUPUI.
Since 2016, the EAP Program has been offering English language support to IUPUI students
through its new ESL Tutoring Center. Students do not have to be enrolled in EAP classes to use
the ESL Tutoring Center. Visits are free of charge. More information can be found on the EAP
website.

IUPUI EAP Program
Undergraduate Course Sequence
EAP classes are small, ranging in size from five to twenty students and are taught by trained and experienced
teachers using interactive, communicative teaching styles. The classes focus on the academic English skills students
need to be successful at the university level. Special emphasis is given to teaching advanced listening, speaking and
reading skills, as well as complex English grammatical forms and structures, and academic composition.
Level I: Due to limited language proficiency, students at this level are generally
restricted to taking only EAP, physical education, and one mathematics or computer
science course.
• ENG G109: Intermediate EAP: Listening and Speaking (3 credits)
• ENG G110: Intermediate EAP: Reading, Writing, and Grammar (3 credits)
Level II: At this level, students generally take three EAP classes, but sometimes only
one/two plus two freshman-level content courses. Courses requiring extensive reading
and writing should be avoided. These courses can be taken over two semesters. If
students are placed in all four courses at this level, they must first complete G111, G114,
and G130 before taking G112. If they are not required to take G130, then they may
register for G111, G114, and G112 in the same semester. The progression of courses
should be G111, G114, G130, and then G112. We do not recommend taking all four
courses during the same semester.
• ENG G111: Academic English Reading: Perspectives on Culture/Society (3 cr)
Focuses on academic reading. Usually must be taken before or concurrently with
W130.
• ENG G114: EAP Grammar (1 cr) Focuses on grammar structures. A co-requisite
of G111.
• ENG G130: Principles of Composition for English for Academic Purposes (3 cr)
Same curricular goals as the non-EAP sections, adapted to the specific language
needs of EAP students. Must be taken with or after G111/G114 unless exempted
by the EAP program.
• ENG G112: Listening and Speaking for Academic Purposes (3 cr) Focuses on
academic listening and speaking skills, including understanding lectures, note
taking, presentations, group discussions.
• ENG G115: English Pronunciation for Academic Purposes (1 cr) Optional; no
code.
This course provides instruction and practice in English pronunciation. (1
credit hour)
Level III: At this level, students are capable of taking a full academic load of classes,
although courses should probably be restricted to general, freshman-level
courses.
• ENG G131: Reading, Writing, and Inquiry I for English for Academic Purposes (3
cr) Similar curricular goals as the ENG W131, but adapted to the specific
language needs of EAP students. Meets IUPUI graduation requirements.

Important Considerations for Undergraduate EAP courses
ENG G109 and ENG G110 are co-requisites and must be taken together.
ENG G111 and ENG G114 are co-requisites and must be taken together.
ENG G111/G114 and ENG G130 may be taken together (this is encouraged). However, if only
one is possible for the semester, it should be ENG G111/G114 first, and then ENG G130 the next
semester.
ENG G112 and ENG G131 may be taken together. However, if only one is possible, it should be
ENG G112 first, and then ENG G131, the next semester.
If a student wants to take only one ENG course per semester after ENG G109 & ENG G110 and
ENG G111 & G114, the order should be, ENG G130, ENG G112, ENG G131.
If a student needs ENG G111/G114 but does NOT need to take ENG G130 (i.e. a final code of
10), they can take ENG G111/G114 and G131 together.
ENG G109, ENG G110 ENG G130 and ENG G131 require authorization from the EAP
Program. The phone number is 274-2188. You must have the specific section number when
calling for authorization.
The EAP program has the final say on which classes students are expected to take and in what
sequence. Students questioning their placement should be directed to the EAP program office.

NOTE:
1. Students who place directly into ENG G131 can consider the above courses their first semester if advised
about expectations, particularly if they have experience with or high motivation towards a specific discipline.
However, completion of ENG-G 131 first would always be best.
2. This is a guide and students are not bound by it
3. Some of these classes may not count towards students’ major requirements or graduation
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*EAP Students are defined as non-native speakers of English who have been placed into ENG-G classes based on the EAP
Placement Test. EAP classes include ENG G109/G110, ENG G111, ENG G114, ENG G112, ENG G130 and ENG-G131.
Students may also be placed into EAP sections of ENG G131. Students who take ENG G130 and/or who are placed into
Writing Program will require EAP students in their W131 sections to withdraw and reregister for an ENG-G 131.)

Graduate Course Sequence
Most graduate students only take one EAP class at a time if they need both, along with their
regular graduate course work, although some will take both classes in one semester.
Students are placed in EAP courses based on the EAP Placement Test administered by the
Testing Center. International TAs are required to take the SPEAK test through the EAP Program
in order to determine if they need to sign up for G520.
• ENG G513- Academic Writing for Graduate Students (3 cr)- Focusing on writing for
academic purposes, assignments are given which use materials from the students’ academic
disciplines.
• ENG G520 - Communication Skills for Graduate Students and ITAs (3 cr)—While
focusing on the speaking and presentation skills required of International Teaching Assistants
(ITAs), this class may also include non-ITAs who need to develop their spoken language skills
or wish to have ITA positions in the future. Skills include pronunciation, classroom interaction,
presentations, seminar discussions, and basic teaching strategies.
• ENG G115: English Pronunciation for Academic Purposes (1 cr) Optional; no code.
This course provides instruction and practice in English pronunciation. (1 credit hour)
EAP Program information can be found on the Program’s website. Information about EAP
testing and policies can also be found on the websites of the Office of International Affairs and
the Graduate Office.
