With the expertise garnered over many years of operation, in 2023 Australian Academy of Commerce offered to establish an ELICOS program for BOYA Institute of Technology, itself a part of Jiangxi University of Technology in the city of Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, China. This program plans to run consecutively with the students’ main field of study over three years and culminates in an intensive fourth year of English for Academic Purposes. The intent is to encourage students to study further afield in Higher Education institutions and universities in the West, primarily in Australia. The logistics of establishing these courses are quite complex, with many issues arising although the benefits at this stage far outweigh any concerns at present.
One of our aims is to receive NEAS endorsement for this Transnational delivery. Join Savvas Papandony, DOS ELICOS at AAC, to discuss the history, writing and implementation of the program, Summative assessment results, how stakeholder feedback is acted upon, and hear about the strong relationship that has developed between the partner institutions.
