Overview
The medium of instruction at AAUJ is English language. As a result, ELC conducts a Placement English Exam for all newly enrolled students to determine their level of proficiency.
To facilitate English proficiency for academic study at AAUJ, ELC offers an Entry language program comprising three different levels: Beginning English, Intermediate English and Advanced English. Beginning English requires five class-hours per week. This level, however, is a non-credited course. Intermediate and Advanced English levels require three class-hours per week. While Intermediate level earns two credit hours, the Advanced course earns three credit hours.
In addition to regular class hours, which focus on teaching English with four basic skills: reading, writing, speaking and listening, the program offers two language-Lab hours per week to each level of English. ELC employs flexible methods in pedagogy and is geared by native and non-native faculty members.
