(See Thinking of Applying) The courses are designed to help you become more competent in the four skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking) as well as use English grammar and vocabulary accurately and appropriately and develop confidence speaking in social situations. Both general and academic English are taught; at the elementary stage there is a greater emphasis on general English and at the more advanced stages there is more emphasis on academic English.
