RMIT English Worldwide’s teaching approach

focuses on communicative teaching

methodology. We use a unique combination of

REW published courses and authentic materials.

We believe that the most effective way of

teaching English is not only to facilitate students’

learning while they are with us, but also to help

them develop the independent learning skills

needed to keep learning after they leave.

Through a student-centred, teacher-facilitated

approach, REW provides the language, support

and opportunities to help students become

successful and autonomous learners of English.

• Direct entry to RMIT University. Successful completion of the appropriate

English for Academic Purposes course

provides direct entry into academic

programs at RMIT University, Melbourne.

high level of educational expertise and are

active members of the international English

language teaching and testing fi eld.

• REW-designed course materials REW-designed course materials help students

meet the learning outcomes for the level and

type of program they are studying.

• Focus on independent learning skillsOur teaching focuses on the particular

needs of our students and developing their

independent learning skills.

• Professionally designed class materialsOur commitment to academic quality

includes using professionally designed class

materials in the form of books, authentic

texts, audiotapes, videos and visual materials.

Computer technology is also extensively used

with Computer-Assisted Language Learning

(CALL) as a core component of our programs,

including provision for online learning. RMIT

English Worldwide students also have access

to a range of other multi-media packages to

help them learn during and after classes.

language courses. Planet English is an

effective supplementary resource to assist

with learning English. Teachers also make use

of other commercially available publications

to complement core materials.

• Pre-entry, Continuous and End-of-Course Assessment RMIT English Worldwide students’ English

language level is assessed prior to the start

of their program. This placement assessment

ensures students join the correct class.

During their course, students’ progress is

checked by informal monitoring, mid course

assessment and end of course tests.

language classrooms, three state-of-the-art

multi-media laboratories, an Independent

Learning Centre (ILC) and a kitchen area and
