Summary
The General English programme at EEC-ITIS is built on the principles of blended learning, which combines traditional classroom instruction with modern online resources. This approach allows students to engage with the material at multiple stages: before their lessons begin, during their classroom sessions, and even after the class has concluded. By utilizing our state-of-the-art online portal, students have access to a wealth of resources, including interactive exercises, reading materials, and practice tests, all of which are designed to reinforce the concepts covered in class.
Eligibility
The General English course is open to all individuals who are 18 years of age or older. We welcome students from all walks of life, whether they are recent high school graduates, working professionals seeking to improve their language skills, or international students preparing for further studies in an English-speaking country. There are no strict prerequisites for enrollment, making this course accessible to anyone with a desire to improve their English proficiency. However, a basic understanding of English may be beneficial for those looking to get the most out of the course, especially in higher-level classes.
Schedule
Our classes are designed to fit into a variety of schedules, making it easier for students to balance their language studies with other commitments. The standard class times are from 9:00 AM to 12:15 PM, providing students with three hours of focused instruction each day. These morning sessions are ideal for those who prefer to learn in the early part of the day, leaving the afternoons free for self-study, work, or leisure activities.
Assessment
Assessment is a crucial component of our General English programme, as it helps both the students and instructors gauge progress and identify areas that may need further attention. Before the course begins, every student undergoes a comprehensive placement test. This initial assessment is designed to determine the student’s current level of English proficiency, ensuring that they are placed in a class that matches their abilities. By starting at the right level, students can feel more comfortable and confident in their learning journey, which in turn fosters better engagement and faster progress.
