West Moreton International English Language Centre offers accredited courses in General English and High School Preparation that will prepare students for entry into mainstream classes in the Junior, Middle and Senior Schools of West Moreton Anglican College.
Our experienced teachers assist students to gain knowledge, skills and confidence for mainstream studies. Students are encouraged to communicate by sharing and developing ideas and knowledge. Classroom tasks are purposeful and carefully designed to develop the language and study skills required for success in the mainstream classes. Learning in context is a basic feature of the communicative language teaching style and students learn their English using a variety of interesting materials. Individual student needs are catered for at all levels and excursions to places of interest are organised as reinforcement of the programme content. Students will also have the opportunity to interact with native English speakers on a regular basis. Students will receive advice and counselling throughout their course to help them choose appropriate subjects for mainstream studies.
Emphasis in the English language programme is placed on the four-macro skills of Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking. Each language skill is assessed against the National Languages and Literacy Institute of Australia (NLLIA) ESL Band Scales. To undertake senior classes at the College effectively, a student should be functioning at a Band Scale 5 minimum.
