The AEP program is a full time language program with 24 hours of instruction per week given in five terms of nine to ten weeks overoneyear. Students enrolling in the AEP program have an English language assessment to ensure placement in the appropriate level. Students can then progress through the levels until they areready for university studies.
Each part of the program focuses on developing the students’ effective communication skills in speaking, listening, reading and writing at the level needed for success at an English-speaking university.
