English Language Program

Description:

The English Language Program at RGS is an ESL program for students who wish improve their English speaking and writing abilities. This program follows Tochon’s Deep Approach, a student centered, motivational, speaking oriented, project based, methodology that makes learning English easier and faster. The “General English” and “Advanced English Speaking” courses are ideal for anyone who would like to improve their English speaking ability, while the “Academic English” courses are designed to help students with reading comprehension and writing.

Students may enroll to one or more of the following English courses:

General English – Level A1
General English – Level A2
Academic English I
Academic English II
Advanced English Speaking

It is recommended that students who wish to enroll to the M.A. in Islamic Studies program at RGS, but have not scored high enough on English Proficiency Exams (6 on the IELTS or 60-78 on the TOEFL), enroll to the Academic English courses with RGS before applying to M.A. program.

*Even if a student meets the English requirements for RGS, they may still be required to take a proficiency exam (IELTS or TOEFL) for Charles Sturt University.

Assessment Test

After Completing the application form for the English Language Program, prospective students will be contacted by an RGS teacher to schedule an assessment test. This assessment is designed to evaluate the student’s current level of English speaking and writing ability, to answer any questions the student may have, and to help guide them to the course that will be best suited to their ability and goals.

The Assessment test consists of two parts:

Oral proficiency interview (OPI)
Written exam
