English for Academic Purposes Now! has been created for you as a course book in English for Academic Purposes. It has been written with the intention of fulfilling a need for a single book which includes the many skills that you will require in order to be successful in English tertiary education (education after high school or post- secondary education). If you wish to attend college or university, or to study in an English speaking country where you will need to have Upper Intermediate or Advanced level skills, or if you are a native speaker of English who would like to expand your repertoire of English language skills and prepare for university, this book will assist you to achieve your goals. As experienced English language teachers ourselves, we have brought to the writing of EAP Now! our own understanding of the learning difficulties and cultural challenges that you will face as you undertake study in a language other than your first. There are intellectual shifts which may be required of you as you learn new ways to present your ideas and arguments in writing and speaking contexts; you will learn to question texts rather than accept them as absolutely always correct; you will make decisions as to the importance of the World Wide Web for your study; you will increase your ability to become independent learners and you will strive for cross- cultural understanding and critical cultural consciousness as a result of your studies within this course. Learning the academic skills necessary to succeed in a tertiary environment can be an arduous, difficult and complex process. You, the student, and your teacher will set out together on a journey that this course book provides. You will work together in order to attain these skills. They are the skills and thinking modes that you will need in all the various academic environments (universities and other institutions) into which you are heading.
