The teachers were very friendly

and helpful.

All courses include face-to-face teaching, supervised self-access study and field trips.

TEACHING METHODOLOGY

The emphasis is on communication. Students will have the opportunity to practise what is taught through the use of task-based learning activities. The focus for course content is provided by weekly themes and topics. These provide a framework around which coursework – particularly vocabulary building and the development of the macroskills of speaking, listening, reading and writing – is structured.

COURSE DELIVERY & ASSESSMENT METHODS

A placement test is usually conducted on the first day. Formal assessment of student achievement is conducted every fortnight of the programme. Each of the macroskills is assessed separately and students are assessed on their range and control of the language in appropriate contexts. The types of assessments include multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank questions, writing of various types of texts, short answer questions and paired interviews among others. Students receive detailed feedback on their progress on a fortnightly basis. Our assessment system enables us to give students targeted remedial help in their identified weaknesses.

RESOURCES AND FACILITIES

We offer modern facilities, including audio-visual equipment and internet access. Being in the centre of the Sydney and Brisbane CBD, we are very well served by public transport and are close to public libraries. The student lounge is well equipped (microwave ovens, vending machines, computers with (free) internet access, etc.)

WELFARE AND GUIDANCE SERVICES

Counselling services are available to assist students on education issues as well as matters concerning adjustment to life in Australia. It is college policy to assist students with special needs to ensure that their comfort and convenience are optimised.
