Course details
OSAC’s Certificate in English Language Proficiency (CELP) course aims to build up our student’s level of competency in the English Language so that they can live and study in an English Speaking Environment. The Intermediate course brings students to Level B2 of the Common European Framework (IELTS 5.5 – 6.0 equivalent / TOEFL IBT 65-78). Based on up-to-date topics of international interest, the course is delivered using the New Cutting Edge series, supplemented by PowerPoint presentations, use of the internet and other relevant activities. A graded-reading program is also incorporated into the course to reinforce language learning.
