Learning English for Academic and Professional Purposes(LEAP) LEAP courses are designed to help students develop the English skills they need for the American university classroom. In addition, the courses include the practical English needed for everyday situations. Instruction in LEAP is interactive. Students practice English through a variety of activities such as pair, small group and whole class discussions, individual and group presentations, impromptu speeches, interviews and surveys outside class and much more. Courses in all five levels focus extensively on academic reading and writing, but also listening, note-taking, speaking, and pronunciation. LEAP courses do not carry university credit towards an academic degree. However, students receive letter grades (A-F) in each class that help determine their promotion from level to level in the program. At the end of each term, students can print their grades through Wings Express or order an official transcript from the Registrar's Office.
