Course Description: English Language course is organized into two subject areas: General English and Business English.

General English course focuses on accuracy and fluency and aims at developing the four language skills—listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The course also focuses on improving pronunciation and increasing vocabulary.

The focus of Business English course is on level-appropriate grammar, introduction of vocabulary specific to various business domains. The course familiarizes students with the finer points of business etiquette and business correspondence.

Students are placed in one of the following stages based on their placement test results: pre-intermediate, intermediate, upper-advanced and advanced.

Marks for the course are based on the following criteria:
