What is the Academic English program?
CGA’s Academic English classes are a customised pathway for ambitious students to accelerate academic English ability more quickly than traditional ESOL classes. The course content has been structured to combine practical every-day English with Academic English that will improve students’ performance in an English speaking classroom.
- Course Material: Pearson’s Wider World book series, designed for virtual learners
- Platform: Pearson English Portal, specifically designed for teaching English online.
Who is this program for?
All students must complete a Pearson Versant English Placement Test as part of their application. Students' scores on Versant will determine their eligibility for the program as well as their level placement if accepted.
- Age: mature 12-15 year-old students looking to improve their English before taking classes in English (Grade 5-8)
- English ability: We offer three different levels in this program:
- A1+ (Elementary) is for those with a score of 28-35
- A2+ (Pre-Intermediate) is for those with a score of 36-45
- B1+ (Intermediate) is for those with a score of 46-55
- Students who want to prepare for internationally recognized qualifications(IB, IGCSE, A-Levels)
When can I join the programme?
The Academic English program runs throughout the academic year from September to May. The content for each level resets in September each year, so a student can study one level throughout the year and then progress into the next level the following year.
