Academic Skills Bundle - Prepare YOUR students for University!

Boost your students' academic skills and critical thinking with this English for Academic Purpose (EAP) bundle. Worksheets and PPTs build key academic reading skills such as skimming and scanning, inferring meaning and understanding bias, while the academic listening worksheets provide a template for improving clear understanding through note-taking, lecture preparation and critical analysis. Whether you are new to academic teaching or an old hand, there will be something new for all of you!

How to Teach Academic Listening Skills - taking students on a deep dive into the critical thinking and listening skills needed to listen to any lecture, lesson or TED talk. Multiple worksheets & activities focus on a wide range of note-taking & high-level listening skills. This is a versatile template that can be used several times as students continue to improve their academic listening skills.

How to Teach Academic Reading For Any Article - a detailed and focused bundle of worksheets and activities aimed at ensuring full comprehension and deep understanding of academic articles. Student reflections, the CRAAP test, summary writing and much more are packed into this lesson. This is a reading template that can be used for any article and which can also be used several times as students continue their learning journey.

Academic Tone & Register - A PowerPoint to guide your students through the essentials of academic tone & register. I use this lesson with EVERY group of students I have. It's the quickest material I have for improving academic writing. Once students start to get academic tone, the rest begins to fall into place...

Logical Fallacies Posters - handy reference guide for students on the major logical fallacies. I find this super useful for quickly pointing out the logical flaws that students might make in their arguments. Having a handy visual guide is so useful. Helps students identify logical fallacies in others' arguments and/or in texts/lectures.

Additional resources include worksheets & PPTS on Academic Structure (using the Claim, Evidence, Interpretation model), Academic Integrity (how to use sources & paraphrase correctly) & Reading with Purpose.

Students often spend years learning the English needed for higher education but very little time is spent on the ACTUAL skills needed for university. This is what these lessons aim to achieve.

These materials have been developed over a number of years as I have tried to help students make the leap from high school to university. They have been used and utilised in pre-sessional courses in university, post-college courses and to my Chinese ESL students who were about to join university in English-speaking countries. I've found these materials to be immensely useful. I hope you do too.

Happy teaching.
