The Diploma in English
Language Program at IITM is well-conceived and structured to
provide English Language Skills development support for
professionals and senior students of various universities.
Generally speaking, students and professionals, even bright
individuals of public and private universities, do not receive
the necessary academic training in English due to problems in
supervision, will of the individual concerned, inefficiently
planned and not effective methodological teaching material
availability and, most importantly, not having the dedicated
guide to work on improving language skills.
At IITM, we have designed the
course by reviewing the backgrounds of Bangladeshi
professionals and university students. We do not focus on
grammatical approach; our program runs with a concept of
learning through conversational practice, writings,
presentations, extempore speeches, vocabulary development and,
of course, a smattering of very essential concepts of grammar
also gets incorporated.
So if you are interested to join or would like to send
your staff or your relative or someone you know, please
contact us soon for further details and registration.
