UABP 프로그램을 수강하고자 하는 학생은 반드시 CLLC의 고급반에 있는 학생이어야 합니다. 일반영어 프로그램을 수강하는 학생 중 캐나다 대학교로 유학을 준비하거나, 좀 더 학습적인 어휘력과 대화능력을 원하는 학생에게 준비됩니다.

 

Beginning in 2005, Dalhousie University www.dal.ca will consider students who have successfully completed the UABP as having met the English language proficiency requirement for admission into undergraduate programs.  CLLC students can apply for admission while they are participating in the UABP program and, if they meet Dalhousie’s academic requirements may be conditionally admitted based on completion of the UABP program.  Consult the Dalhousie University website for information on academic requirements and to explore the range of programs offered at Dalhousie. 

 

This program is also accepted as satisfying the English language proficiency requirements for admission by Nova Scotia Community College, www.nscc.ca.

 

CLLC’s UABP integrates language instruction, learning strategies, and authentic content material.  This instructional approach fosters the use of materials from a variety of sources and subject areas to increase interest and motivation on the part of the learners.  It also ensures that participants acquire practical academic skills which are immediately applicable in a university setting.

 

The course, which incorporates data collection and analysis, critical thinking, and experiential learning, is based in appreciative learning, a type of change management.  Traditional change management models are grounded in organizational development/action research which focuses on the negative -- problem analysis and solving.  In a learning environment, this leads students to rely on outside experts (what business calls best practices) resulting in compromised academic integrity.  Appreciative learning instills a sense of confidence in one’s ability and encourages the development of personal strengths increasing the likelihood of academic integrity.

 

This program was designed with the needs of the student in mind.  In addition to instruction in advanced language skills, course participants will learn research and presentation skills essential to success in today’s universities.  A variety of instructional methods are employed, however, course participants should come prepared to learn by doing.

Course Modules Include Development in the following skill areas:  Reading, Research, Composition, Presentations / Listening Skills, Metacognitive Skills, Group Skills, Technical Skills, Phonetic Skills and other skills useful for academic success at the university level.
