The Importance of Postgraduate Courses in English for Academic Purposes -- Inspirations from the Practices of Universities in the U. K.

Characteristics of EAP （English for academic purposes） courses offered by universities in the U. K. are described, with the practices of the Portsmouth University and University of East Anglia as examples. A discussion is made on their course design, content of teaching, teaching methods, application of modern technology and cooperative teaching, and their inspirations for our general postgraduate English courses.
