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 for learning. Our courses combine theory with hands-on practice and group work, to allow for the lively exchange of ideas.  Students learn to communicate ideas not only through writing but also through speaking in a variety of educational and professional settings during their years in university.

An overview of our courses follows.
