The term ‘English for Academic Purposes’, or EAP, was coined in 1970-s, meaning “teaching of English to speakers of other languages. Since thenwho needEAPhasEnglishbeentodevelopingstudy or conductsteadilyresrespondingarch usingtothatthelanguage”growthofglobal science paralleled by changes in higher education. EAP is now a broad term covering all areas of academic communication such as:

research genres (from journal articles to conference papers and grant proposals);
administrative practice (from course documents to doctoral oral defenses).
EAPisoftencontrastedwithgeneralEnglish.Theprimarydifference betweenthemisobjectivesandcontentfocus.WhileGeneralEnglishaims to improve overall language proficiency for everyday use, EAP is English for academics working in research or teaching. That is why the starting point for EAP is the learners’ academic needs and goals. Being focused on formal, academic genres rather than the conversational and social genres, EAP is mostly centered around reading and writing, whereas many general English language courses concentrate on speaking and listening.

Abstracts can be written in a structured or an unstructured format. Structured abstracts provide clear headings toorganize thecontent; they are less common than unstructured ones. Even though unstructured abstracts do not use headings, they still adhere to a specific structure and address all key components that should be included. So if you want to write your abstract, make sure you follow a firm structure, regardless of whether you opt for a structured or an ‘unstructured’ format.
Do not rely on automatic systems and programs to translate your abstract into English. Different languages use different academic style and phrases and you often need to use a completely different wording to convey the same idea. Automatic translation cannot do this properly.
