Learning Outcomes:
The English Language Centre was launched in 2015 by our Principal, Simon Harrison. The brainchild of former Dean of Humanities, Professor Sahkela Buhlungu, this was the first time UCT had offered and English as a Foreign Language teaching programme, and ELC was one of the first university departments in Africa dedicated to teaching English as a Foreign Language.
Simon and Sakhela’s vision was to develop a pedagogy of English as a Foreign Language Teaching which was rooted in the context of Africa and the Global South, while supporting the Faculty through it’s revenue generating operations. In 2017 the ELC Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language was launched, a precursor to the upcoming Post-Graduate Certificate in TEFL; the first of its kind in South Africa.
The Centre has grown rapidly since it was launched, opening an additional premises at Dover House in 2018 to expand to twelve classrooms. The Centre also works to support and advance the South African EFL sector through communities of practice with other Higher Education institutions and membership of EDUSA, the South African industry body for EFL.
