ELICOS

Kangan Institute’s English language courses can help improve your English language skills. These courses are designed for both personal development and preparation for direct entry into TAFEs and universities.

Our levels range from elementary to advanced. New English classes start every week and depending on your level, your study duration can range from 5 to 40 weeks. In our English language courses, you will learn to:

• Write essays and reports
• Give presentations
• Communicate with confidence in English
• Research and reference
• Study independently
• Develop your grammar and vocabulary
• Synthesise ideas through activities from the classroom and through excursions.

When you arrive, you will receive an orientation and will be guided on your study goals. You will also receive regular feedback from our teachers as you progress.

Students who successfully complete certain levels of their English courses can take a direct entry route to Foundation Studies or vocational education (TAFE). At the higher level you can gain direct entry to undergraduate courses.
