Academic - English Language Centre.
INTRODUCTION
The English Language Centre was set-up on 12 December 2003 as the Legenda Group of Colleges emphasises on students’ mastery of English. The main concern is to equip students with sufficient skills and knowledge of English so as to prepare them for further studies in universities as well as for the work place.
Comprehensive and Intensive English Language Programme (CIELP), comprises three main levels; Elementary, Intermediate and Advanced levels. Each level has 3 sub-levels and there is a total of 9 levels altogether. Students will need to sit for a placement test in order to be placed into the different levels.
Elementary Level : Elementary 1, Elementary 2 and Elementary 3,
Intermediate Level : Intermediate 1, Intermediate 2 and Intermediate 3
Advanced Level : Advanced 1, Advanced 2 and Advanced 3
The designing of modules and materials of CIELP and the teaching of this new programme are all compiled by the staff of the English Language Centre. The centre has started the programme and at the moment 4 classes (two classes of Elementary 1 and two classes of Elementary 2) are run simultaneously from Mondays to Fridays. It is hoped that when students have completed all the necessary levels they will be more proficient as well as more confident in the usage of English in both spoken and written purposes.
