“The skills I developed in my EAP classes

have helped me become more confident speaking in front of others, communicating with customers. leading meetings, and writing professional emails. The writing skills I developed also helped me improve my CELPIP writing score, which was an important step for my life in Canada. Finally, becoming familiar with the Canadian education system gave me more confidence to continue my education."
