General English courses develop students' communication skills by developing listening, speaking, reading and writing.
When students arrive at Rose Hill College, they take a placement skills assessment test and interview to determine their English level and are then placed in a class that best suits their English level and study plan.
The test at the end of the ten-week course will be comprehensive, requiring students to combine elements of the language they have learned to complete realistic tasks that a student of a particular level might complete. This type of test is designed to see how much language students are able to systematize in order to transfer and extend performance.
The school's visa assessment level determines the risk level for students applying for a visa and is a significant reference.
For example, if a school's visa assessment level is 2, the applicant will face more restrictions and be required to provide more written evidence, such as proof of language proficiency and financial capacity.
