Overview of the Program
Our School’s Performance Standards and Levels
Our school’s learning programs and level placement are determined with reference to the proficiency standards of the Interagency Language Roundtable (ILR).
The Basic English Program (for beginner students) is designed to help students develop communicative skills that are fundamental to engaging in simple but meaningful communication about everyday life. The Basic English Program curriculum provides students with opportunities to work on fundamentals, such as pronunciation, basic sentence structure, and the use of common words and phrases.
The English for Communication Program (for intermediate students) is designed to help students develop a mastery of English sufficient to engaging in meaningful communication about most aspects of daily life. The English for Communication Program gives students opportunities to expand their knowledge of the idioms and slang that are indispensable to living and working in an English-speaking environment.
The English for Applied Purposes Program (for advanced students) is designed to help students develop a mastery of English sufficient to engaging in meaningful communication about all aspects of daily life as well as a variety of specialized topics. Students in this program concentrate on applying their English skills to future academic or professional ambitions.
