North Campus

Welcome to the Department of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and Foreign Languages at Miami Dade College, North Campus. Here at the North Campus, students whose first language is not English will gain the English language skills necessary to be successful in their college courses. Students learning one of the foreign languages the department offers will gain communicative skills and a strong foundation for further study in the target language.

The Department of EAP & Foreign Languages is part of the School of Arts & Letters Division at Miami Dade College, North Campus. It provides high quality instruction by experienced faculty. Educational resources include state-of-the-art computer lab facilities with the latest in software. Students are also provided with learning opportunities both in and out of the classroom.

The EAP Program is divided into six levels: beginning through advanced. Each level consists of classes in grammar, writing, reading and speaking/listening. Students are also required to take a writing lab and speaking/listening lab at each level.

Students wishing to enroll in the program take a placement test (ACTE COMPASS/ESL) and do a writing sample to assess language proficiency. The student is placed in the appropriate level based on the results of these assessments. Students in Levels 5 or 6 have the possibility of taking two accent reduction courses to further improve their speaking skills through a focus on pronunciation. Academic support is provided through the speech and writing labs, which are an integral part of the program.
