Certificate—English Foundation (Basic)

Language Skills
Designed for
Academic Use

The Basic English Foundation Program is designed for students to attain the level of English language proficiency that better prepares them for the Certificate in General Studies. We have concluded after analysis that, unless we incorporate preparatory courses in English to bridge the gap between lower levels of English and the language level in our Certificate in General Studies, students will have difficulty understanding the material. The program uses a uniquely integrated approach for learners wishing to improve their English in a progressive way. It utilizes a variety of approaches and techniques. The overall scope of the program objectives reflects a balance of function and form.
