Being able to use academic English confidently is crucial for all students who study abroad and are envisaging an international career. However, it usually takes several semesters before stu-dents feel entirely at ease with academic language. EFAP, therefore, aims to give students the opportunity to engage actively with academic English, showing them how to use an appropriate, formal academic tone and how to continue to develop their own 'academic voice'.
