EAP and IELTS Preparation
All of our academic English students are planning to study at universities or other higher education colleges in Australia or elsewhere. Some may need to show an IELTS score to gain entry to their chosen course, others may be on one of ELC’s pathway programs and not require an IELTS score. Our Academic English course is tailored to meet the needs of students in both situations.

To help both EAP and IELTS students you will have weekly individual sessions with the Academic English coordinators who will create and manage your personal study plan, tailor the course to your needs, and give you feedback on your progress towards your IELTS or EAP goals or advice on your future studies. Students working towards EAP and direct entry can get extra personal assistance with their essay writing and research skills, while students preparing for the IELTS test can also use these tutorials to practice their speaking test interviews.

review of ELC

I've studied in ELC for almost eight months. My fast aim was to get a high score on IELTS, but changed to not only that reason. Of course I could make many friends from around the world. Precious memories that I've studied with fantastic friends and best teachers is the best thing for me. I thought it was a bit too long to stay in language school for eight months. However, thanks for that, I could get much knowledge. So I don't have any regrets, I just have satisfaction.

16 week at ELC

I'm satisfied with my studies.
I have a clear understanding in that it is difficult for the teacher to help everyone of their students with their specific needs. Although I find it strange that teachers mark progress test differently and also the change in teachers during courses. I studied for 16weeks in total to prepare myself for college since my start I expressed my struggles with writing essays also asked if there were extra classes in the morning I got the answer that this option does not exist the writing extra class is only for time table A. I believe that for the money you pay to studie at ELC the facilities should be better eg projectors, temperatures in class rooms as well as the toilets and all this paper copy's. Everyone is very friendly and I think all is doing their best to suit all of everyone's needs.

My Experience in ELC

I studied for three months in ELC Sydney and had a great time, teachers are very good and classes have the right mix of content and practical learning. Plus, we had a lot of additional activities (picnics at the beach, parties, museums, etc) and met a lot of great people from around the world. I´m very happy to have taken the desicion of study at ELC.
I would definetively recommend ELC Sydney.
