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 NTU students sharpen these tools of learning. Our courses combine theory with hands-on practice, including group work and interaction, to allow for the lively exchange of ideas.

An overview of our courses follows.
