The English as a Foreign
Language Unit offers programs at all academic levels. The main purpose of the
EFL programs is to equip university students with sufficient knowledge of the
English language so that they can successfully cope with academic texts in
English. The primary focus of the Undergraduate
Courses is on reading skills and strategies which enable students to
comprehend conceptually abstract and linguistically complex authentic academic
texts.
The aim of the M.A. Graduate Program and the Ph.D. Graduate Program is to provide
instruction in the reading of professional materials in the fields of students'
specialization as well as in the basic elements and skills of cohesive writing
in order to enable students to write well-organized paragraphs of analysis and
argument.
In addition, the EFL unit offers a number of courses for students from several government and commercial bodies.
