Pathway “A”  (ESL99)  Advanced Level

After completion of this level, students can move on to Master’s degree programs. 

At this level, learners demonstrate a near-native proficiency in speaking, listening, and writing, with the ability to function effectively in academic, social, and professional settings. Speaking is fluent, coherent, and nuanced, with correct use of complex grammar and sophisticated vocabulary. Students can articulate opinions, argue points, and adapt their language to formal and informal contexts with minimal effort. Listening comprehension is strong, with the ability to grasp the meaning of lectures, interviews, and fast-paced conversations, even when involving implicit meanings or abstract ideas. Grammar use is highly accurate and varied, with command over structures such as phrasal verbs, inversions, and parallelism. Vocabulary includes a wide repertoire of academic, formal, and colloquial terms, allowing for subtle distinctions in meaning and register. Writing produces clear, well-reasoned, and well-structured essays, reports, and other long-form work, demonstrating advanced control of style, tone, and grammatical accuracy with minimal errors.

Pathway “B”  (ESL98)  Low Advanced Level

After completion of this level, students can move on to bachelor’s degree programs.

Ath this level, learners are capable of handling a variety of social, academic, and professional situations with increased proficiency. In speaking, they can engage in extended conversations, present ideas, and discuss arguments with improved fluency, accuracy, and coherence, though occasional hesitations and minor errors may still occur when dealing with unfamiliar topics. In listening, students can understand spoken English at near-natural speed, including conversations, lectures, and media, though challenges with highly colloquial or technical language may arise. Grammar use demonstrates a solid understanding of advanced structures, such as embedded clauses and parallel forms, but occasional inconsistencies might persist in more complex tasks. Vocabulary includes an extensive range of words, collocations, and idioms for both conversational and academic needs. Writing demonstrates well-organized, extended work, including essays and reports, with reasonable control of academic style, though subtle errors in tone or sentence variety may still appear.

Pathway “C”  (ESL97)  High Intermediate Level

After completion of this level, students can move on to Pathway “B” Low Advanced Level.

At this level, learners are able to participate in discussions on familiar and somewhat unfamiliar topics with greater ease and fluency. In speaking, they can express opinions and describe past and future events, but their language may still lack complexity and precision. Listening skills allow for understanding the main ideas and specific details in spoken English at a natural, moderate pace, though difficulties with idiomatic expressions and implied meanings may occur. Grammar knowledge includes mastery of more complex structures, such as conditionals and passive voice, though issues with consistency and accuracy remain. Vocabulary includes a growing bank of words and expressions for both everyday and academic settings. Writing at this level shows growing sophistication, with the ability to produce organized essays and narratives, though word choice and mechanical errors can still interrupt clarity.

Pathway “D”  (ESL96)  Intermediate Level

After completion of this level, students can move on to Pathway “C” High Intermediate Level.

The learners of this level show increased confidence in expressing themselves in familiar situations but may still struggle with complex topics or longer interactions. In speaking, they demonstrate an improved ability to sustain conversations and ask questions, though fluency may be interrupted by hesitations or errors. Listening skills allow for understanding detailed information in slower speech and clear contexts, though complex or nuanced language remains challenging. Grammar skills include more tenses, such as present perfect and modals, but errors with verb conjugation and sentence structure are still present. Vocabulary is expanding to include terms related to broader topics, such as daily activities, common interests, and workplace settings. Writing improves to include short, multi-paragraph compositions, though issues with organization, sentence variety, and grammatical accuracy persist.

Pathway “E”  (ESL95)  Low Intermediate Level

After completion of this level, students can move on to Pathway “D” Intermediate Level.

At this level, learners demonstrate a foundational ability to communicate using basic sentence structures and familiar vocabulary. In speaking, students can handle simple conversations on routine topics, although errors may frequently occur. Listening comprehension is developing, with learners able to understand the main ideas of clear, slow speech on everyday topics. Grammar knowledge is limited to basic tenses such as present, past, and future, with noticeable patterns of errors. Vocabulary is focused on practical, high-frequency words and phrases for common interactions. Writing at this level includes simple sentences and short, organized paragraphs, often with significant grammatical and spelling errors that may hinder clarity
