At SAA-GE, we provide high quality
language training and support for international students.
Our CEP programme is a graded course which aims to build up
students’ level of competency and confidence in the
English language in a gradual and structured way so that they
can live and study effectively in an English speaking environment.
It is designed primarily to prepare students for living and
studying in Singapore where command of the English language
is necessary. Classes are kept small to ensure a personal
and interactive learning environment.
The CEP programme at SAA-GE is mapped onto the Common European
Framework (CEF) of reference for English language learning,
teaching and assessment. After taking our in-house placement
test at SAA-GE, the student will be placed in one of the
appropriate levels based on their English needs.
Students taking the General English modules will develop their
ability to communicate more confidently and effectively using
English in a variety of situations in their daily lives. The
Academic English Modules focus on language skills essential
for higher education with English as its medium of instruction.

Course Progression
The students are assessed through
a combination of course work and a final exam from the Elementary
level to the Upper Intermediate level. The weighting will
vary from level to level. However, at the Advanced and Proficient
levels the student is assessed solely by means of a final
examination based on the IELTS test.
