PendingNeutralGrade not reported/pendingEAP Program Academic PoliciesThe following policies apply to both the Online and Face-to-Face EAP Programs.Classroom Language PolicyBenefits of Speaking English in ClassStudents must speak English in class as much as possible. Speaking in English establishes arich learning environment and is extremely important to achieving your goals related to Englishlanguage learning. Using English in class will help you learn faster, as it provides opportunities for practicewith your classmates and instructors. Using English in class will directly affect your class performance and grades. UsingEnglish will help you improve your communicative, linguistic and academic skills. Thisdirectly improves your performance during assessments and exams. Students who use English in class see improvements in their English vocabulary, as wellas in their confidence and fluency. Continuing to speak in English in class, even if you make a mistake or forget a word,challenges your brain. Your brain learns from these mistakes, and your English fluencyand communication will improve. Using English language in class can help you develop intercultural relationships withstudents and instructors who speak other languages. Speaking in English in class creates an inclusive classroom atmosphere, which ensuresthat all students are involved in collaborative learning. If you actively speak English in class, your instructors will be better able to assess yourprogress and give you helpful feedback.Appropriate Use of Your First LanguageStudents benefit by using English appropriately in class. Your first language/mothertongue/home language(s) is/are another valuable tool for your language learning. During the firstweek of class, you will discuss how best to use this tool with your instructor and peers. Forexample, while you should use only English in class, it may sometimes be acceptable to use your8
first language in your notes order to clarify vocabulary, idiomatic expressions or academicconcepts, or to compare grammar structures between your first language and English. You mayalso talk about your first language with classmates, using English, to discuss vocabulary,idiomatic expressions or academic concepts, or to compare grammar structures, for example.All discussions in the classroom should be related to classroom activities. Therefore, Englishshould be the language you use to have those discussions. Your instructors will remind you toavoid using your first language for discussion during class.Remember that your first language can sometimes be a helpful tool but be careful not to use it asa cane or a crutch. This can slow down your learning.Fee PaymentStudents will not be admitted to class until tuition is paid in full. Students may be admitted toclass on the first day if special arrangements for payment have been made with our financialofficer, Gena Walsh, before the term starts.Visit the EAP Course Payment webpage on www.dal.ca/esl for information about how to pay yourcourse fees.

Note: Majorassessments require additional time to mark and may take up to a week before students receivegrades and feedback.No make-up work is permitted.
