This study guide comes from my own school of NLPECH College. I think it is good to apply the same study method and help with your English learning process.
English is one of the most widely spoken languages on the planet. It is used as the official language in around 40 countries but is used widely in more than 100 countries. English is used as the international language in many fields including communications, science, business, aviation, entertainment etc. Overall, more than a billion people around the world are believed to speak the English language.
As an NLPTECH student, learning English or improving your English language skills will enhance their professional, social and academic prospects and mobility.
NLPTECH Students are encouraged to speak with fluency and accuracy as well as develop the four skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking. The classes are theme based to provide practice in a meaningful context which can be extended outside the classroom. Small class sizes ensure that NLPECH friendly and professional teachers (all of whom are native English language speakers) are able to attend to each individual student’s unique needs.
On our first day, we will be issued a short written and oral placement test to help us establish our level in English.
