As you progress through each level, you will develop and refine the following essential skills to prepare for future studies and career success:

  • English Listening Skills: Enhance your ability to understand spoken English in academic and everyday contexts.
  • English Reading Skills: Build confidence in reading and analysing academic texts.

  • Australian Study Skills: Gain insights into academic expectations and practices in an Australian learning environment.

 

English for General Purposes (EGP)

The English for General Purposes (EGP) course is designed for students at the beginner level of English who wish to build a strong foundation in the language. This program focuses on improving everyday communication skills, including speaking, listening, reading, and writing, to help students gain confidence in using English in real-life situations.

The course provides a supportive learning environment where students can:

  • Develop their basic vocabulary and grammar.
  • Practice conversational English for day-to-day interactions.
  • Build essential skills for further English language study.

This course serves as an excellent starting point for students preparing to progress to higher-level English studies, such as the English for Academic Purposes Preparation (EAPP) course.

The English for Academic Purposes Preparation (EAPP) program is designed to help students transition to studying intermediate-level English.

Through the EAPP program, students will:

  • Strengthen their foundational skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking.
  • Develop a basic understanding of academic language and concepts.
  • Gain confidence in tackling more complex English studies.

The EAPP program provides a supportive environment for learners, ensuring they are well-prepared to progress to the English for Academic Purposes (EAP) course.
