Have you ever wanted to win a prize by continuing your English language practice? Here is your chance!
The ELC is launching the Independent English Learning Award Scheme (IELAS), which is designed to provide an incentive for students to practice their English language skills outside of the classroom.
Those who commit to the award scheme earn stamps for their participation in ELC workshops and activities (except for IELTS workshops); those who earn 100 or more stamps will be eligible for a book voucher!
During face-to-face class suspension, IELAS stamps will be tallied online. Please CLICK BELOW to fill out the online form.
* UEI and UEII students can submit the IELAS form to your teacher as part of the self-directed learning portfolio.
You can find a list of workshops where you can earn IELAS Stamps below. You can also check out our calendar for more workshops and events.
