Morning Programs
English Communication Program
This course is part of our core program and the focus in the morning course at all levels is on functional/situational English supported by appropriate grammar. It is a text based integrated skills course that helps students develop their linguistic competence in all four (reading, writing, listening and speaking) skill areas. Version 7: July 2010
TOEIC Preparation Program
The TOEIC program is ideal for students who are fluent, but not accurate. TOEIC is an accuracy-based program specifically designed to help students improve their TOEIC scores. Because the TOEIC program is designed to intensively focus on improving students' macro-skills along with grammar and vocabulary, this program is best suited to students in need of intensive grammar tuition and skills development. Version 6: 18 August 2008
IELTS & Academic Preparation Program
The IELTS & Academic Preparation program is designed to help those learners who are interested in or intending to pursue further academic studies in an Australian TAFE, college or university. The course is text-based and learners are exposed to authentic university level reading and listening materials. In addition to their academic work, learners also spend time working on skills and building knowledge for success on the IELTS examination. Version 6: 18 August 2008
Business English Program
The Business English program
has been designed for students interested in the business environment
who would like to develop their decision-making, meeting, planning, and
presentation skills. While the Business English Program assumes that
the learners have an interest in pursuing a career in international business,
previous business experience is not a prerequisite. The curriculum is
designed with the assumption that the learners still need language input
and development. Therefore the program focuses on grammar and macro-skills
development as well as business English content and themes. In addition
to learning everyday business skills, a range of business and cultural
knowledge is also developed.
Version 5: 18 August 2008
Business English and TOEIC Program
The Business English & TOEIC Program is designed to prepare students for careers in an English speaking environment. The focus of the Business English & TOEIC Program is two-fold: It has been designed to (1) provide students with the professional communication and language skills necessary for a wide range of business situation and (2) help them achieve high TOEIC scores. The program addresses learners’ needs by incorporating an integrated approach to developing macro-skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking), grammar, vocabulary and test-taking strategies required to perform well on the TOEIC test as well as in future careers. Version 4: December 2009
Power Speaking Program
This course focuses on developing communicative fluency in language rather than on specific grammatical structures. Through a variety of exercises students will not only further expand their reading, writing, listening and speaking skills, they will also learn to become aware of the their personal strengths and weaknesses. Through the use of a variety of oral practice activities, students will learn how to more effectively assert their preferences and opinions. And, by the end of the course, they will be able to express their ideas clearly and cohesively in one on one, small group and large group situations. Version 5: February 2010
Cambridge Exam Preparation Program
The Cambridge Exam Preparation programs are designed for students who are interested in preparing for the Cambridge FCE, CAE or CPE. The morning classes have an integrated skills approach with focus on vocabulary, grammar and functional language structures. Each afternoon, students focus specifically on the different test papers and their corresponding skill area. Students in this program also have the opportunity to sit all five papers of a mock-Examination each month. Version 13: January 2010
