1. Self access
Self Access is a program which assists students to develop individual study plans to tailor their language studies to their own unique needs. Self access includes study sessions supervised by fully qualified Academic English teaching staff, who are available to answer questions and provide study advice.

2. Extensive reading
The Extensive Reading program runs for 20 minutes, 4 days each week. It has been shown to help students develop good reading habits, natural expression and increase reading speed.

3. English only policy
To ensure that students get as much practice to develop their English language skills as quickly and as effectively as possible, the Academic English program has an 'English only' policy. Our aim is for English to become so natural for students that they will begin to think in English.All forum, chat, live and other communication should be in English.
