POLY ESL PROGRAMS
We recognize that our students come from diverse cultures and academic backgrounds
and that every student has different strengths and weaknesses, focuses and needs.
Our curriculum therefore is structured into distinct course types followed by test
preparation courses:
- Listening/Speaking courses where students learn to develop and sharpen their listening
and speaking skills;
- Reading/Writing courses where students develop and sharpen their reading comprehension
and writing skills;
- Grammar courses where students focus on the structure of English;
- Elective courses where the focus is on American pronunciation, American idioms or
introduction to iBT TOEFL;
- iBT TOEFL Test Preparation courses where students study all skills of English language
and test taking strategies of the exam.
POLY offers three ESL programs that are designed to meet the needs and educational
goals of our students. Each program consists of seven (7) levels. As well, student's
have the ability to choose the intensity of their program. Our Semi-intensive program
offers the core components of language learning with the flexibility of part-time
study. In the intensive program, students heighten their learning comprehension/retention
by adding grammar to their core classes. Our Intensive Plus Program is our best
offer since it provides core language components with additional challenging learning
concepts like Grammar, pronunciation or Idioms. The combination and intensity of
this program will enrich their language learning, guaranteed. Students are tested
and placed in the courses appropriate to their language capability.
