Intensive English Curriculum
The Intensive English language course curriculum is designed to help you easily transition to university study. The course structure is designed to focus on four specific pillars that make up the necessary skills for academic success.
Key Language Skills:
Our English courses cover all essential language skills such as: listening, speaking, reading, writing, pronunciation, and grammar. You will learn to speak with clarity, listen carefully, and gain the writing competencies necessary to complete your academic assignments with ease and accuracy.
