Structure and Articulation with Other Courses: The General English courses consist of four levels: Elementary, Pre-Intermediate, Intermediate and Upper-Intermediate. Each level has a 10-week study period. Students will be expected to attend a weekly 20-hour face-to-face class. Articulation: Successful completion of the General English course at Upper-Intermediate level enables entry into the IELTS Preparation course or the English for Academic Purposes (EAP) Upper-Intermediate course. Assessment: There are two different types of assessment tasks (formative and summative), which are built upon the teaching/learning content covered in each course of study. At the end of each level, students will be required to sit for a final exam to demonstrate their learning outcomes. Entry Requirements: Students do not need any special requirement to enter the General English course. However, they will be assessed and placed in an appropriate class before commencement. Students applying from overseas can do a special placement test with their agent so that an appropriate class can be arranged in advance.
