INTENSIVE ENGLISH AT CANNING COLLEGE
As an international education institution, Canning College attracts aspirational students from many parts of the world. The College welcome ambitious learners from across Asia, Africa, North and South America, Europe and island nations to a vibrant, multicultural campus.
The College also enrols domestic students who aspire to global citizenship and value the opportunity to connect with international students, exchanging ideas and embracing cultural difference.
On campus, students are united by their drive to achieve success at Canning College and enter university degree programs that lead them towards career goals. Students who require English language improvement are enrolled in the English Language Program before transitioning into a standard academic program.
AT THE HEART OF THE COLLEGE
The Intensive English Program assists students in improving their verbal and written English language capabilities in preparation for their Canning College pathway-to-university program.
A great education at Canning College starts with a good understanding of the English language. While many new students speak and read English well enough to immediately enter Canning College’s standard academic programs, others benefit from starting their journey to university in the Intensive English Program.
Intensive English is delivered in a supportive environment in which students can immediately feel confident about using English, regardless of their level of understanding. This approach, combined with the frequent feedback of specialist English teachers, accelerates learning to ensure students achieve their language goals as scheduled.
THE RIGHT LANGUAGE LEVEL
Intensive English is suitable for international and domestic students, who require English language improvement.
Some Canning College students arrive from countries where English is a common language, or they have been learning in an environment where English is the language of instruction. Most often they are ready to tackle standard academic programs from the moment they arrive.
Students who have a more basic understanding of English are also able to start at the College without delay by enrolling in Intensive English. Following a free, in-house English test, student English capabilities are assessed by a language expert, who determines the most suitable intensive program, and the number of study weeks required. The expected time for completion may be adjusted based on rate of progress before a student moves into a standard academic program.
THE LEARNING PROCESS
Students complete up to 22 hours per week of English-language specific content along with the balance of their timetable learning other curriculum subject content. This gives students a broader understanding of language and improves their capacity to use English in different contexts and apply it more confidently when studying various subjects.
