Message from the Head of the Unit

Dear Students,

 

You have come to university to acquire knowledge and develop the skills and tools that will help you build a meaningful, fulfilling, and successful professional future. Your journey through higher education begins with your undergraduate studies, and throughout your academic career you will devote considerable effort to deepening your knowledge and expertise in your chosen field.

A high level of academic English proficiency is an essential part of this journey. During your studies, you will have opportunities to establish connections and collaborate on academic and research projects across borders, present your work at international conferences, and engage with colleagues in the global academic community. The role of the English as a Foreign Language Unit is to help you develop the skills and confidence you need to meet these challenges successfully.

We aim to provide you with a broad range of tools that will serve you both within academia and beyond it, in your professional and personal lives. Our courses develop a variety of language skills, including reading, writing, listening, and speaking. You will strengthen your ability to read and analyze academic texts while also broadening your horizons. We place great emphasis on interactive and engaging teaching and learning, as well as on building our students’ confidence in their ability to meet a wide range of challenges in English.

The EFL Unit brings together a team of highly skilled and experienced instructors with extensive expertise in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and English for Academic Purposes (EAP). They understand the particular challenges that English courses may present and the need, at times, for additional support and individual guidance. Their commitment to teaching is reflected in their close contact with students and in their availability beyond regular class hours. The outstanding work of our lecturers in teaching English to thousands of students has been recognized and commended by the University.

We are here for you!
