Advanced English

Course Overview

The Advanced English programme has been designed to help those students who have not yet achieved the necessary English proficiency level required to join our Diploma programmes. This course helps in the development of listening, reading, writing and speaking skills with emphasis given to academic English.

During the course, students will not only improve a daily command of the language, but also develop their critical reading and writing skills with the use of a variety of texts, including novels for young adults, short stories, newspapers, magazine articles and letters. This practice creates a strong foundation for their academic English.

Students will also be given writing tasks and learn how to develop their ideas through essays, reports, emails and letters. Classroom interaction is highly encouraged and students participate in many listening and speaking activities. During the course, they become increasingly proficient in delivering oral presentations and using visual aids to deliver a message.

Upon completion, students may continue their English programme with Higher English Language Programme.
