ENG 101 : English Composition I

The ESL Program provides regularly scheduled courses in English as a second language as well as custom-tailored Business English program for groups of international students and business personnel with topics ranging from resume (CV) writing to job interview techniques. Designed to meet the specific needs of non-native speakers, the courses provide the opportunity to develop the vocabulary and skills required of candidates for business-related undergraduate and graduate degree programs. Special emphasis is given to the development of the cultural awareness necessary for interacting with English speaking natives in the business environments. As a general rule, in teaching ESL, guidance is also obtained from the various English Language public examination bodies and incorporated into IUA curriculum due to our educational operation in the UK.

This course promotes standard writing skills and helps students become better readers and writers. Emphasis is on grammatical usage, mechanical writing skills, critical reading, writing for coherence and correctness and basic library skills. Expository techniques of paragraphs, short essays and reports are covered.

The application fee is £150 for international students and £100 for local students which is deductible from the full tuition fee once the student commences classes. This fee is mandatory and non-refundable.
