Course Overview

This English as an additional language program acknowledges and celebrates the previous existence of home languages, cultures, and multilingualism while actively engaging students in their learning process. The 8 courses, lasting 8 weeks each, take students from A1 to B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) (Beginner to Upper-Intermediate). Students can test into the appropriate level according to their language skills.

Learning Outcomes

The REAL (Reimagining English as an Additional Language) program acknowledges and celebrates the previous existence of home languages, cultures, and multilingualism. Compared to English as a Foreign or English as a Second Language (EFL/ESL), English as an Additional Language (EAL) has a broader reach as EAL learners embrace their mother tongue and culture in the classroom as a linguistic resource used to learn English. The goals of the REAL program are:

  1. To provide students English language instruction to gain the necessary language skills for academic purposes.
  2. To help students become more familiar with the higher educational culture.
  3. To prepare students for the demands of online or on-ground university-level study in English, especially in a higher education institution.
