    The best thing was the trips ...

    all of the students went together and had a

    great time. The classes were great ...

    the teachers were very nice and helped us

    a lot. The Bridge Programme helped me

    improve my English thanks to the Bridge

    Programme and the teachers.

    Name: Marta Choya

    Country: Spain

    The year I have spent studying on the Bridge

    Programme has been an unforgettable

    experience. Not only has my English improved

    but I have met a lot of friendly people from all

    over the world. Moreover, the teachers are

    very helpful and nice. The atmosphere duringthe lessons is very familiar which makes the

    learning process much easier. Most of all, we

    have been taught academic English, which in

    my opinion is a great advantage to success in

    University next year. I strongly recommend the

    Bridge Programme to you.

    The table below is a guide for students wishing

    to continue with academic study. Students who

    do not wish to progress onto an academiccourse may start the Bridge Programme at any

    entry point.

    The above table is based on the achievements

    of international students who complete their

    course successfully and is not a guarantee of

    IELTS achievement. Successful completion

    means students who have a minimum

    attendance of 90%, who complete allassignments on the course and have a positive

    attitude to learning.

    Foundation students

    Students who plan to attend an International

    Foundation Programme will need a minimum

    English level of IELTS 5.5. There will be a Pre-

    International Foundation Course offered in the

    summer to students who have not reached therequired IELTS 5.5 by the end of the Bridge

    Programme (see page 8).

    Undergraduate and Postgraduate students

    We will be offering Pre-sessional programmes to

    students who have not reached the IELTS scoreset by their academic departments by the end of

    their Bridge Programme (see page 6).

    Over 120 years of teaching experience

    Cardiff University has been successfullyeducating students since 1883. You can be

    certain that we have learned a lot in that time.

    Recently, 21 of our academic subject areas

    were independently assessed as Excellent for

    teaching. This spirit of excellence carries over

    into all our departments, and our Englishlanguage teaching is no exception.

    Entry assessment and regular monitoring

    During the first week of any course, we use a

    standard placement exam and course-specific

    testing techniques to determine your English

    language abilities in listening, reading, speaking

    and writing. You will be assessed even if you

    have an IELTS score or equivalent. This allowsus to place you in classes with students who

    have similar needs, allowing you to maximise

    your learning and ensuring you feel challenged

    but not overwhelmed.

    Professional teaching you can count on

    Your motivation and our teaching expertise are

    the keys to your success in learning English.

    As one of the UKs leading universities, ourteaching methods are proven to work. Our

    teachers hold specialist qualifications in

    Teaching English as a Foreign or Second

    Language and understand the language and

    study requirements of the British higher

    education system. Many have first-handexperience of living in a different country and

    studying another language. But most important

    of all, our teachers are committed to creating a

    vibrant teaching and learning community.

    Innovative teaching materials

    Cardiff University English language courses

    follow a core syllabus developed by our own

    team of specialists, using recognised texts,coursebooks and source materials as well as

    drawing on relevant and entertaining

    supplementary materials current news

    articles, magazines and periodicals, television

    shows, videos and IT.

    The syllabus varies according to which courseyou study so that we meet the different needs

    of for example a student about to start apostgraduate degree programme at Cardiff

    University or someone improving his or her

    General English for career reasons.

    Intensive language and cultural studies

    To become fluent in another countrys language,

    you must also be fluent in its culture. We

    concentrate on developing essential language

    skills (grammar, reading, writing, listening and

    speaking) using task-based activities, currentevents and British themes such as literature,

    history, culture, education and art whereappropriate. This means that you learn to use

    and speak English in everyday real-life

    situations whether at University, in theworkplace, with friends, in shops, in restaurants

    or at home.

    Teaching and learning methods

    The course employs a variety of teaching

    methods, all chosen to deliver the tuition you

    need in the best possible way.

    Lectures

    Lectures are classes given to large groups of

    students. Lectures allow you to gain a

    comprehensive base of knowledge. Lecturers

    make use of a range of resources and facilities

    to provide the information you need. During

    lectures, you will be given written material(handouts), information about exams and

    essays, and multi-media presentations.

    You may even find that you are invited to give

    your own presentation.

    Seminars

    These are smaller discussion groups of three toten students led by tutors. This is an ideal time

    to discuss any questions after lectures and an

    opportunity to fully understand the subjects you

    are studying.

    Tutorials

    You can arrange to meet any tutor to discuss

    any aspect of the course. For example, if thereis something you did not understand in a

    lecture or seminar, or if you want to discuss the

    progress of your project or essay or any other

    topic you want to talk about.

    All students are encouraged to speak

    individually to their tutors if they have anyquestions or problems; your tutor will always be

    pleased to see you and happy to help.

    Official recognition

    you will receive an official Cardiff University

    Attendance Certificate. It is proof of your time

    with us and makes an excellent addition to yourCV - demonstrating to future employers your

    new language abilities as well as your initiative

    and independence.
