e-Learning
is synchronous, real time, computer-mediated communication.
In this program, the teaching is done on-line. This
innovative program reaches across borders, education
levels, and systems. It draws on expertise in information
technology, curriculum design and development, and
implementation skills. Its use of modern technology
gives flexibility in delivery and facilitates cultural
understanding as students are immersed in English-speaking
culture.
EMC programs are designed for learners across
educational sectors from preschool to university
and on to industry and professional education.
EMC courses are specially designed to meet the
growing demands for the wider global community
to understand and speak English in a variety of
contexts with a variety of English accents.
Through the creative use of computer-mediated
communication (CMC), students participate in a
series of real-time on-line tutorials with native
English speaking instructors who guide them through
a variety of carefully designed course materials.
EMC courses all use original materials in programs
tailored to suit students and education systems
in all sectors: preschool, elementary, middle
and high school, and tertiary. The instructional
programs are client-specific and flexible. EMC
also designs, on demand, special programs for
professionals who need to visit or work in an
English-speaking context.

EMC programs are presented by native English speaking
teachers and provide students with the skills
to expand their horizons in English language and
Western cultural situations. This occurs in a
variety of ways and pivots around the four macroskills:
reading, writing, speaking, and listening. All
programs have a tutorial structure that allows
plenty of discussion time, which ensures that
students develop competency in all areas of English
language communication and actively participate
in speaking with the e-Teachers. Students are
exposed to a variety of genres thereby sharpening
their reading, speaking, listening, and writing
skills.
The IUC¡¯s approach to teaching the English language
and culture is uniquely distinctive. It creates
opportunities for students to use the English
language in meaningful and purposeful ways in
a secure, nurturing and motivational learning
environment and to interact, in real time, with
native English speakers. |
