Dear Students,

It is with great enthusiasm that I welcome you to the English Language Teaching Unit (ELTU) of the Faculty of Management. I trust this message will provide you with a clear understanding of our mission and the opportunities we offer at the ELTU.

Our primary focus at the ELTU is to foster and enhance your English language proficiency, both for general communication and academic success. As an integral part of the Department of English Language Teaching at the University of Peradeniya, we are committed to equipping you with the skills needed to help you excel in your academic journey and beyond.

Our offerings include the Intensive English Programme, Certificate Course of Business English and English Language for Management (ELM). These courses are thoughtfully designed to deliver a dynamic and engaging learning experience, ensuring that language acquisition becomes both enjoyable and effective. Beyond the classroom, we provide numerous enriching activities such as events, competitions, interactive workshops, talent shows, and student-led initiatives. These opportunities aim to broaden your horizons and deepen your engagement with the language in meaningful ways.

Our unit also actively collaborates with other departments to integrate diverse disciplinary themes into our language teaching, reinforcing the relevance and practicality of the skills you acquire.

I wholeheartedly encourage you to make the most of these opportunities and join us in creating a rewarding language-learning journey.

Wishing you success and fulfillment,

Mr. N.S. Hewage,
