Kuala Terengganu, 11 September, 2012 - Twenty selected candidates from the Military Industrial Corporation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia arrived yesterday evening at Kuala Terengganu to begin a month-long Intensive English Programme at our campus at Marang, before they set off to the Kuala Lumpur campus to pursue a three-month industrial exposure training programme in various engineering disciplines.  Looking fresh and enthusiastic despite some connected and long flights to Kuala Terengganu, the students looked forward to participating in a host of programmes lined up for them by the teaching team. 

Ms Margaret Soo, Head of UCSI English Academy called for the students to stay healthy and enthusiastic, as the month-long programme promises to be both fun and challenging.  Students will be assessed before and after the programme to ensure that they improve by at least one level in their English pursuit, while at the same time be taken to various weekend outings to appreciate the natural beauty of Terengganu that few tourists get to see. 

"Learning English Globally" is the theme of the programme which emphasizes on the need to use English effectively in a global setting.  "English is no longer a language owned by the Englishmen; it is a universal communications tool every global manager or student needs to have," said Ms Soo in her welcome message.

The UCSI English Academy conducts Edu-Tourism through short and medium term mobility programmes such as this at the East-coast of Malaysia.
