The English Language Teaching Unit of the Faculty of Management was established in 2015 and it offers English courses to students of varying competencies. This course series is titled “English Language for Management” (ELM) and is a compulsory component of the BBA degree program.
The English Language program conducted by the ELTU of the Faculty is pedagogically and epistemologically molded in line with good practices pertaining to English Language Teaching. The ELM program then enables students to reach a high competency level in English in the shortest possible period of time ensuring that even the weakest students are allowed sufficient time to gain a profound knowledge of English.
The performance-based credit-hour system, where the competence of students at the entry level will determine the number of courses required to attain the minimum competence to graduate from the total of 24 credit-hours required, is a novel introduction which ensures that negative reinforcement will be avoided when conducting the ELM program.
These courses are designed in such a manner that it can satisfy the demands of the global capital circuit and academia. Further, they incorporate up-to-date student centered learning, problem- based learning and outcome-based teaching/learning methodologies.
