Program Requirements

The program includes specific objectives and learning strategies for each level in speaking, listening, writing, reading, and pronunciation. It also includes special cultural modules for certain levels. It is designed for the acquisition of the linguistic, communicative, pragmatic, and sociocultural competency needed in academic and professional contexts and in sociocultural settings. Time is taken during class and in the language laboratory to focus on each student's linguistic needs and development. A pronunciation clinic is also available for those who wish to give special attention to this aspect of the English language. Students benefit from small class sizes and enjoy sharing a unique learning experience with classmates from every corner of the world. Classes are held from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday to Friday. There are six sessions each year offered during the Summer, Fall, and Winter semesters. We offer eight levels of study from Elementary to Advanced. A student’s level will be determined by the results of the Entrance Placement Test (held approximately one week before courses start). Upon completion of the two Advanced levels with a minimum grade of B- (65%), students are eligible for the ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ Certificate of Proficiency in English – Language and Culture. This Certificate fulfils the language requirements for admission to ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ undergraduate and graduate degree programs.

Application to the program must include full payment of tuition fees for one session. Tuition fees for subsequent sessions may be paid at a later date, determined by the University. Tuition fees do not include textbooks, medical insurance, travel or accommodation costs, or any class outings. Please note that credit card transactions cannot be conducted by telephone or by mail.
