Program Overview

Each Language Center student will follow a schedule of courses to fit his/her academic English needs. This approach is very effective because each student can focus on those courses which he/she needs to improve. Nine Language Center courses fall into three categories:

1- Pre-Academic Listening and Speaking (PLS 1001)
2- Pre-Academic Reading (PRD 1001)
3- Pre-Academic Writing and Grammar (PWG 1001)

1- Academic Listening and Speaking 1(ALS 1001)
2- Academic Reading 1(ARD 1001)
3- Academic Writing and Grammar (AWG 1001)

1- Academic Listening and Speaking 2 (ALS 1002)
2- Academic Reading 2 (ARD 1002)
3- Academic Writing and Grammar 2 (AWG 1002)

All the students coming to the University are required to have taken the TOEFL. Students are assigned to courses in pre-academic, level 1, level 2, or a combination of both levels 1 and 2 according to their TOEFL scores and Writing Placement Test.
