HOME> Program> PAGODA ACADEMY > SLE PLUS

Overview

  • Originally conceived (2005) as an intensive academic preparation course for American study, SLE PLUS is now an intensive course in the four skills (writing, speaking, reading and listening).
    Divided into practicing input and output in English, students must demonstrate improvement in their language skills through writing assignments, speaking presentations and a written test.
    The focus in SLE PLUS is the production of accuracy and fluency according to level.
