English for Academic Purposes (Intensive)

Teachers: absolutely NO negative comment about Nicollata. However, I got one afternoon class with Ms. Caval on my first, and regardless of the content, I felt there is a gap in communication between us as students and her. I mean no offense here, I think she has hearing issues and that should be checked.

Location: perfect!

Facilities: I was upset that I paid all that money and there weren't hot drinks for free in the kitchen! I do think that is a basic thing to be offered by the school for the students.

Activities: Lovely and John is a funny guy! However, I wished if the indulging class, where we go to learn English in a certain place outside of school, where more cheaper so I can join them.

Housing: I liked the location, as well as the working lady there, Kudzai, she was helpful on so many levels regarding safety, transportation, etc. On the contrary, the house was quite expensive comparing with the other university housing. I think if it is cheaper I would have stayed there till the end of my course. As a final note, Charine was helpful and responsive when it comes to the logistics and was relieving for me to have someone to complain or ask for suggestions.

It was a good time at UCT.
Teachers was nice and interesting.

It was a good experience to study in Cape Town.
The university is in the center so it's easy to have lunch and to go there.

The first time I met all stuff I felt in my country because were all stuff helpful and friendly. Also I learned many things from teachers not just English. If I have had another opportunity I would like to study again at UCT English Language Center.

I really enjoyed my studies at UCT English Language Centre. The methodology the school uses is really great and helps students to develop their writing, reading, speaking and listening skills, as they are all covered during the training every week. As a Portuguese speaker student, in the beginning, it was a bit difficult for me to listen to the ´´Capetownian´´ accent, however, soon I was used to it as I was deeply merged in the Cape Town environment and the social activities developed at ELC helped a lot to improve my vocabulary for different situation.

The student residence and the ELC facilities are set in the heart of the city within a walking distance, which makes life easier as we could talk with other classmates while walking to school or the way round to the residence. The teachers are really highly rated, as they develop a level of confidence in the student and are always available for conversation, which is great.
