It offers students a complete and comprehensive curriculum which focuses on the core skills of English reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Upon completion, students are expected to develop the knowledge and skills of English reading, writing, listening, and speaking, enabling them to score well in the IELTS examinations.

Core Modules

IELTS

English Reading has two parts: Academic Reading and General Reading. Students get to choose either one of them for study. The Academic Reading module consists of texts of general interest dealing with issues which are appropriate for and accessible to candidates applying for postgraduate or undergraduate courses. The texts of the General Training Reading module draw on social and training contexts or deal with general interest topics.

English Writing has two parts: Academic Writing and General Writing. Students get to choose either one of them for study. Appropriate responses for the Academic Writing module are short essays or general reports addressed to tutors or to an educated non-specialist audience. The General Writing module trains students to write personal, semi-formal or formal correspondence, or to write on a given topic as part of a simulated class assignment.

English Listening will enable students to understand the context of general language proficiency. The content includes social needs and educational training contexts.

English Speaking is intended to equip students with the necessary knowledge and skills to communicate effectively with native speakers of English.
