English language component forms a
crucial part of the students' required courses at the PPU. Hence the university
administration gives remarkable attention to develop the students' proficiency in
English language in particular and other languages in general.
The university administration believes
that English as a language of science and technology, and the language of international
communication, can be of great help to our students. High command of English language
is an excellent asset for our graduates to get a good job or a scholarship for graduate
studies.
According to the current university
plans, every student should have, at least, 9 credit hours of English as a university
requirement. However , students who fail the placement test should have six more
credit hours in average in form of intensive courses.
The university administration has
already decided to establish
Language Center
since the academic year 2007/2008 so as to emphasize the great value and importance
of teaching languages at the university.
The main mission of the
Language Center
is to develop and upgrade the students' proficiency in languages in general and
English language in particular. The center is working on various activities that
involve the participation of students as well as instructors to achieve its goals.
