The largest computer education institution in Sri Lanka offering the most number of computer and information technology programmes under one roof at very competitive rates, ESOFT, is launching a modern English Diploma course, aimed at every one interested in learning English. This English Diploma course can be followed at any of the 27 ESOFT branches located Island wide.

Speaking of this English Diploma programme, ESOFT Computer Studies Pvt Ltd., Managing Director Dr. Dayan Rajapaksa said even though there are so many English language courses in Sri Lanka, the English knowledge a student obtains from following those courses is not sufficient for them to learn in the English medium, to sit for an examination, to face an interview successfully and to work in the English medium at the workplace. So, this English Diploma course was introduced after conducting an in-depth study, getting a panel of experts to prepare an English course, preparing the text books to be used and selecting a suitable teaching staff and training them, Dr. Rajapaksa added.

The specialty of this English Diploma course introduced by ESOFT is that, other than the traditional classroom lectures, the students are divided into small groups and provided with the opportunity to engage in practical activities, encouraging them in the practical use of the English language.

The duration of this course, covering grammar, speech and comprehension, is six months. The course is conducted on week days and week ends. The students who complete the course successfully and pass the examination held at the conclusion of the course will be awarded a Diploma certificate. The students who are following other IT courses at the ESOFT will be offered a special discount of 50% for this English Diploma course. The text books necessary for the courses will be provided free and new students are recruited every two months.

There are 27 branches of ESOFT Computer Studies Pvt Ltd located all over the island, and they are equipped with an atmosphere conducive to learning, with air-conditioned lecture rooms and library facilities. www.esoft.lk is their internet website.
