ELICOS
Introduction
ELICOS stands for English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students. It is a type of English language program for international students who want to improve their English skills for academic or professional purposes.
ELICOS courses are designed to help students achieve a high level of fluency in English and prepare them for further academic study. The curriculum typically covers language skills such as speaking, listening, reading, writing, and grammar. Students may also have the opportunity to practice using English in real-life situations through activities and excursions.
ELICOS courses are usually offered at various levels, from beginner to advanced, and students are placed in a class based on their English proficiency. The length of an ELICOS course can vary, with options ranging from a few weeks to several months. Upon completion of an ELICOS course, students may receive a certificate that verifies their English proficiency.
ELICOS is an important option for international students who want to study in an English-speaking country but need to improve their English skills first. By successfully completing an ELICOS course, students can demonstrate their English proficiency to institutions and employers and increase their chances of success in their future academic or professional endeavours.
