General EAP websites

The following are the two most well-known EAP websites.

The following are some other general EAP websites.

Writing

The following are some general resources for academic writing.

Reading

The following sites give information on academic reading.

The following are some sites which provide graded reading material. Although EAP tends to use authentic texts, graded readers can still have a place in the EAP classroom, especially for engaging lower level or younger students.

Speaking

The following sites help with academic speaking skills.

Listening

The following sites help with listening skills. They are mostly general English listening practice, since there are few specialised academic English listening sites. Sites marked with an asterisk * are ones which use YouTube or Vimeo and may not work in all countries.

Vocabulary

The following sites focus on vocabulary.

The following sites give information on academic vocabulary lists.

Grammar

Although EAP courses tend not to include a specific focus on grammar, there are some areas which may be focused on, e.g. passive structures for report writing, and students often need remedial grammar practice. The following are some resources for grammar.

Study skills

Reference

The following sites provide useful reference information that could be used in various ways. For example, I've used the CIA World Fact Book to provide students with data to create charts and give presentations.

The following are some popular online dictionaries (and one thesaurus). There are many more - all major paper dictionaries have online versions. Many online dictionaries now include translation, e.g. the Cambridge dictionary.
