About this Certificate Course
The certificate in English Proficiency is a sub-degree program offered by the language center of the University of Ghana for individuals in non-speaking English countries. Upon completion of this programme, applicants obtain a certificate in English Proficiency from the University as a prove of their proficiency in the English Language.
This programme comprises five distinct courses at the intermediate level. It is emphasized here that the courses are all designed with the needs of students with low to higher intermediate level of proficiency in English in mind. The curriculum and instructional materials follow a predetermined progression from a lower intermediate to higher intermediate level of proficiency between the first and second semester versions of the courses.
The instructors make provision for the needs of the students with a level of proficiency which is far below the class average. Though there have been cases in the past when students that should be classified as beginners or false beginners have enrolled in the programme with the full understanding of the challenges they were bound to encounter, the reality of the intermediate classification in past years is one which encompasses a broad range of lower intermediate, intermediate and upper intermediate students in the same classroom. Conscious of this reality, the lecturers make some provision.
