General English

General English courses are by far the most popular classes we deliver, and they cover core English language skills with an emphasis on improving fluency and building confidence when speaking. The classes are dynamic and interactive, and provide a solid foundation to develop functional English language skills.

English for the Workplace

Our English for the Workplace courses are structured around our knowledge and experience of working in Timor. We have designed contextually appropriate material that targets the type of English required in more formal work-based settings as well as in social situations. Depending on the specific needs of the organisation, we can adapt the course by creating additional materials that might focus on a particular skill such as email writing or giving presentations.

English for Specific Purposes (ESP)

We recognise that now more than ever, people need appropriate and relevant English to communicate effectively in a variety of business sectors, so LELI provides a range of ESP courses. These include the energy industry, law enforcement, engineering, human resources, accounting and finance, the hospitality and tourism industry, and the aviation industry. Additionally, we provide tailored professional writing courses that focus on emailing and report writing in the workplace. Furthermore, we have also developed Content Integrated Language Learning (CILL) courses that include basic numeracy and computer literacy.

Customised English Courses

We also understand that certain clients require bespoke English language training that is specific to their organisation and/or a particular job role, which is why LELI offers a professional curriculum development service. For more information, please click here.

English for Academic Purposes (EAP)

LELI has extensive experience developing and delivering EAP courses that focus on providing students with the English language skills required for academic study overseas. The primary aim of our EAP courses is to enable students to become familiar with, and to practice applying English in an academic context. In addition to developing the macro-skills (speaking, reading, writing and listening), our EAP courses also address critical thinking, note-taking, research methodology and plagiarism.
