English and Skills Foundations (ESF) Course

The English and Skills Foundations (ESF) is a two-level foundation program that prepares students for entry into and success in AC-Kuwait’s diploma programs. Our ESF program helps students develop the English language, English for Specific Academic Purposes (ESAP), mathematical, and information technology skills they need to be successful at the diploma level.

The ESF program features small groups of students working independently, in pairs and in groups to maximize their understanding of the concepts covered in class. In the classroom, students are engaged in activities designed to increase their skills in English language, critical thinking, and collaboration and thereby facilitate a smoother transition into college life.

They also have access to extra support to improve their English language proficiency and their Math skills through the College’s Writing and Math Help Centres. Using their own laptops, students work at their own pace to develop speaking, writing, reading, and listening competency.
