What is ELICOS?
ELICOS stands for English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students. Students from all over the world attend courses for periods ranging from 5 to 40 weeks. The courses are conducted in the Australian environment so that students benefit from being exposed to English in and outside of class. ELICOS courses encourage students to use their English in a natural manner by performing authentic tasks or practising simulation of authentic situations. Courses aim to build the student s confidence in actively using the language.
