Welcome!
The EAP Consortium includes participants from the 28-member Florida Community College System.  Our goal is to support EAP programs throughout the state by enhancing communication among EAP faculty and administrators and by addressing articulation concerns. 

What is EAP?
EAP stands for English for Academic Purposes.  EAP programs provide second language instruction for non-native speakers of English who intend to earn associate or bachelors degrees in Florida community colleges and contribute to our communities.  Although our students come from a variety of backgrounds, they are united in their desire to learn academic English in order to succeed with their higher education and career goals.

What is the EAP Consortium?
As a consortium, we meet three times per year in a rotation of community college settings.  We are currently working on a state-wide definition for EAP and state-wide competencies or learning outcomes for our upper-level courses.  If you are interested in becoming a FL-EAP Consortium participant, please contact us at fl_eap@yahoo.com
