You do not have to state what level you need to apply for? We will help you with this with the help of a specially designed he placement test. You sit for this test prior to your entry to the centre. The test results will ensure that you are placed at the most appropriate level for you. These different levels, starting from Starter to Upper Intermediate will ensure that you progress and gain confidence at every step. In no time, you will be going up the language ladder, seeing for yourself, how much your English language skills and proficiency have improved!
At each level you will be tested twice to determine your progress – the Mid-term exam and the Final exam. These exams will check your understanding of grammar as well as your writing, listening and reading skills at your current level. The collective scores of the Mid-Term and Final exams will determine if you can move on to the next level. You must obtain at least 70 per cent to go to the next level. If you fail, you will have to repeat the current level. This is not a bad thing, but a good way to ensure that you are ready to study one step higher. In cases where a student scores 98 per cent and above, he or she can take the jump test, so that he can skip one level and move on further up.
We have additional classes for you to practice speaking, reading, writing and lessons which take place before or after your regular classes, in the morning or afternoon. Besides this, we have a library from which you can borrow story books that will help you improve your vocabulary and reading skills. Apart from this, our events hall is a place for you to play games and interact with your international colleagues in English. We also arrange outdoor activities, trips and celebratory events around various festivals, where students are encouraged to participate and do presentations relating to their individual cultures and traditions. Overall, because we are one of the most international English language centres in Malaysia, you will find lots of opportunities to make friends with different nationalities and converse in English daily.
