Abstract
This paper reports the findings of a larger study which explores the practice of EAP (English for Academic Purposes) courses within the context of higher education in Sri Lanka. The main objective of this paper is to examine the EAP needs of the students in terms of study skills. A sample of thirty undergraduates from the Faculty of Management, Wayamba University of Sri Lanka was selected as respondents. The findings indicate that existing EAP syllabus did not meet the actual needs of the EAP learners. The findings suggest some changes for the successful implication of the EAP courses. In particular, the EAP courses are to be revised and diversified in terms of specific study skills to meet multiple academic needs of the learners. Recommendations have been made to uplift the quality, relevance and validity of EAP courses.
