PROGRAMME STRUCTURE AND CONTENT
The ‘Part-Time English Programme’ is based around the ‘Cutting Edge’ series of language learning materials. It provides students with an intensive, yet enjoyable learning experience. Key course material will be researched and prepared carefully by our instructors using an extensive library of current teaching materials which further enhances students’ learning experience.

In addition to these hours of intensive learning, students are encouraged to use our interactive learning facilities during their self-study period. We also have Skills Class which include lessons on presentation skills, writing workshops, listening and speaking activities.
Students are expected to complete homework assignments, which will be set throughout the course. In a typical lesson, students are introduced to key language points in real life contexts.
