The English Language Preparatory Program Level 4 is a continuation of the ELPP, designed to cover four main areas of reading, writing, listening and oral communication. The subject consists of two major components, an EAP (English for Academic Purposes) course based on discussion of topics related to the modern globalized world and a program of learning activities where students attend sessions from their prospective program, supported by additional tutorials and workshops.
