Congratulations to JCU Language School for its successful completion of the NEAS Quality Review for 2024. This review encompassed structured meetings and focus group discussions involving management, students, teachers, and professional staff. Additionally, the use of anonymised Quality Principles Surveys helped identify focal points for the Quality Review process, while comprehensive stakeholder feedback was analysed in alignment with the key Principles and Drivers of the NEAS Quality Assurance Framework. For more information on the Quality Assurance Framework, please refer to this section of the NEAS website: https://neas.org.au/resources/neas-quality-framework/.
The JCU Language School offers the English Language Preparatory Program (ELPP) to international students as a pathway to further studies at JCU Singapore and other higher education institutions. The ELPP is structured into five levels, from Beginner to Advanced, and operates in 12-week trimesters with three shifts. The program ensures quality through a rigorous validation process for each assessment, involving all teachers in post-test marking, analysis, and discussion. The teaching staff at JCU are highly experienced, with between nine and 31 years of experience, and they engage in regular professional development. Notably, four members of the teaching team have recently completed their Master Practitioner Certificates with NEAS, highlighting their commitment to professional growth.
