Director’s Message

The ELC believes in the symbiotic relationship of the English Language teaching and the English Language Research in the broader context of students’ linguistic needs. It considers developing students’ high level of proficiency in the English Language as a vital factor to support their overall success, regardless of their disciplines of study. In view of these outlooks, the ELC has completely revamped its courses, gradually supplanting them by globally standardised ones. These are taught in the state-of-the-art classrooms which are well furnished with audio-visual aids. As a result, the UCP students practice all four language skills in an enabling classroom environment on a daily basis. Correspondingly, the ELC encourages its ELT practitioners to take part in a classroom related action research to diagnose students’ second language requirements and adapt to the most suitable need-based teaching material to achieve the desired outcomes. It also equips them with the relevant resource material to make sure they remain updated with an ever-evolving best teaching practices in the field to meet learners’ emerging second language needs.
