The Department of English of Royal Institute and Teacher Development Centre is affiliated with both Cambridge and Pearson and offers Internationally recognised English Language Assessments along with a range of English Language courses and Teaching training courses.
As a Cambridge Assessment English Authorised Examination Centre. The Department of English and Teacher Development Centre has been offering exams and courses from Young Learners in English (YLE) to C1 Cambridge Advanced (CAE), to cater to the ever-growing demand for internationally recognised qualifications for the need to learn the language mainly due to migration and higher studies.
The English Department of Royal Institute and Teacher Development Centre was established identifying the need to enhance English language fluency amongst Sri Lankans, and to ensure students of all ages can access a quality language learning experience. High quality English programmes are provided, through innovative teaching practices and experiential learning through a variety of courses in affiliation with Cambridge Assessment English.
Courses are also offered for kids from the age of six to adults to enhance the language fluency of English. These courses take careful consideration of students’ particular needs and interests and enables them to use the English language effectively and enjoy the learning process. These courses also explicitly demonstrate how English is used in real-life situations, which enable learners to use language meaningfully. The learners will be able to communicate their ideas fluently, accurately and confidently. The latest addition to the Department is Speech and Drama affiliated with the renowned Institute of Western Music and Speech (IWMS) Sri Lanka, to equip young learners with pronunciation, public speaking and prose speaking.
Courses offered for adults include Diploma in English, Face 2 Face English and Professional English. These courses teach students how to use English for everyday situations and purposes related to school, social life, work and leisure. The underlying philosophy is that learning a second or foreign language is more rewarding, meaningful, and effective when the language is used for authentic communication. To be able to communicate in English confidently is a challenge for many. This is where the courses offered by Royal Institute play a role in doing the needful.
