Goal(s)
The primary objective of the three-year program is to promote the transformation of our engineering students from “consumers” of English courses to communicators in English. Thus the emphasis is on student production, both written and oral. They are required to use actively the skills they have already acquired as they add new ones. During the three years at E3, the skills progressively become more professional, the tasks become more complex, and the students develop more autonomy in the learning process.
Our programs by year are voluntarily designed to be as flexible as possible in order to accommodate the wide range of levels of our students (from A2 to C2 as defined by the Common European Framework of Reference for languages - CEFR*) Students must show proof that they have attained at least the B2 level, but we demand that all of our students, whatever the level, advance.
Every effort is made to provide stimulating and challenging activities for every
level.
