This comprehensive program is designed to guide students through four learning levels (A1 to B2) of English, preparing them for the academic challenges ahead.

Academic English Program

This program consists of 4 courses focusing on academic writing that are offered to Year 3 and Year 4 students. This program is designed to accommodate a diverse range of language competence. It instills students’ confidence and provides the necessary tools for successful academic writing. More content-area-related assignments with more academic vocabulary and readings prepare students for the challenges of the academic classroom. The first two courses are introductory writing courses that provide students with the support and instructions they need to successfully produce some basic writing. Moving to Year 4, students are introduced to evidence-based writing where students are required to search for credible sources and read academic materials to support their arguments in their writings.

Vocational English Program

This program is offered to Associate Degree as well as the Bridging Course students. The courses in this program are tailored to the needs of students’ majors and future careers. They also equip students with skills such as critical thinking, communication, decision-making, problem-solving and others.
