Language and Communication Centre

If language and communication are the tools essential for learning, then the Language and Communication Centre is where these tools are fashioned and made ready for use. The Centre, which is part of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, designs courses to help students of NTU, both undergraduates and graduates, sharpen these tools for learning. Its courses combine theory with hands-on practice organised around group work and interaction to allow for a lively exchange of ideas.

An overview of the Centre's courses follows:

GER-Core

• Writing courses that help students craft their text and master the art of writing to be like professionals in their disciplines.
• Communication skills courses that help students communicate effectively in different contexts, including the workplace.

GER-UE

• European language courses in French, German and Spanish at different levels that prepare students for a dynamic global education.
• Asian language courses in Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Malay at different levels that help students integrate into the growing Asian business and cultural environment.

Foundation
