English with our need. The kind of ESP are taught now are EAP and EOP in
Indonesia that is very Helpful for many people in Globalization Era.

Masters course in science and the other doing a PhD research degree in social science
subject. All students are from non-English medium country in Indonesia, Malaysia,
Japan, and Korea. What do you think the main components each of needs on a four week
pre-sessional course (EAP course)?

I think the main component of need for them is different. They are have different
Mother tongue, country and English background. All of them are Asian, actually I

Pronunciation can help them interaction and survival in Australian. Not only that

different vocabulary. Vocabulary help them at their campus
