This paper presents an evaluation of an English Language Intensive Course for Overseas Students (ELICOS) language program. It reports on a causal-comparative examination of both an English for Academic Purposes (EAP) course, and an IELTS course. The quantitative data analysis suggests that IELTS preparation programs are more successful in preparing students for the IELTS test than EAP courses.
