English Proficiency Program™

The English Proficiency Program (EPP) is an academically oriented English language program designed to prepare students for further studies in English, including in the Global Assessment Certificate^® (GAC) program. Both the EPP and the GAC are products of ACT Education Solutions, Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of ACT).

Early in the EPP, study units focus on familiar themes and topics, such as Childhood Experiences and Food, Recipes, and Culture. As students progress through each level, they move on to units with more global issues and concepts, such as People Leading Extraordinary Lives and Technology. Vocabulary is introduced at the beginning of each unit and incorporated into a variety of activities throughout the unit.

EPP has a balanced focus on the key language skills—reading, writing, listening, and speaking—as well as a strong grounding in grammar and pronunciation.
