Intensive Academic Preparation (IAP) Program

Do you want to maximise your chances of success at an Australian university? If you have received an unconditional offer for a university course, Hawthorn-Melbourne’s Intensive Academic Preparation Program (IAP) course can help you further improve your English skills.

Academic English can be very different to the English you use in conversation, even if you are an advanced English speaker. IAP is an intensive program that will prepare you for university study in English and introduce you to the academic requirements of Australian universities.

In this course, you will complete activities and assessment tasks that use the same standards of English required at university level.

You will develop English language and study skills that you will use throughout your university course, including skills in these four main areas:

Listening

gathering important information through listening and note taking exercises based on lectures, seminars, videos, tapes and tutorial style presentations
identifying and analysing issues that arise in this information
Speaking

seminar presentation skills
confidently expressing, explaining and supporting a point of view related to a given topic
Writing

summarising and paraphrasing
organising and self-editing material
correctly acknowledging reference information obtained from a range of sources
Reading

reading and analysing a range of authentic reading materials
predicting, skimming and scanning
identifying key words and key topics.
