Abstract
This entry provides an overview of curriculum issues in pre‐sessional English for academic purposes (EAP) programs offered by Australian university language centers. It describes a continuum of broad approaches, from English for general academic purposes (EGAP) at one end and English for specific academic purposes (ESAP) at the other. Additionally, it describes the common approaches taken to the teaching of the four macro skills within an overall integrated skills approach. A number of recommendations are made for the focus of formal academic and action research in the Australian context, and for curriculum writers and teachers to extend the range of activities in the pre‐sessional EAP classroom.
