In this paper I will briefly outline two models for the teaching of English for Academic Purposes: the study skills model, which concentrates upon developing student competence in such areas as reading, writing, and note-taking, and the discourse orientated model, which aims to help students understand discourse processes, structures and lexis in their specific disciplines. In relation to the latter, I will also look at a number of content based teaching practices, including Content Based Instruction, which is used in the tertiary sector of education. In reviewing these different approaches, I will also consider the promotion of learner autonomy, which is seen to be an important factor for learner development within the academic community. The descriptions I give will provide the background for the greater part of my paper, in which I will refer to various aspects of two university EAP courses I have facilitated.
