The School of English Language Education (SELE)offers a programme of insessional English Language courses and language support for students at the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus. We provide individual consultation, self-access facilities, and insessional courses consisting of weekly classes during term time.

Insessional courses offer once-weekly classes, to help you with language and study skills needed for your academic courses. The classes are taught in modules lasting from four to seven weeks. They take place at lunchtimes, in the afternoon and at the end of the normal teaching day. There are courses available for Foundation, Undergraduate and Postgraduate students. Details of courses offered are emailed to all students at the start of each semester. They can also be found on the notice board in SELE.

How to Register for Insessional English Courses

To register for any of the above courses simply sign up on the lists on our notice board in the third floor lobby of Block G, or register at the Administrative office of SELE in room GD14. You may also register by emailing our administrator at Lau.Pooi-Fan@nottingham.edu.my. 

As there is a high demand for Insessional courses, please only sign up for courses that you are serious about attending, otherwise you may be denying other more committed students the opportunity to study.

What Information do I Need to Bring?

Language Consultations: You can get help with your writing problems as one-to-one consultations are available by appointment. Alternatively, consultations are also available if you just want guidance to help you decide how best to improve your English. 

Please note that we do not offer a proof reading service, but we would be happy to read a section of your writing and discuss ways of improving it with you.

Conversation Skills: If you would like to practise your spoken English in a relaxed and friendly environment, all you have to do is find one or two friends to join you and book an appointment.
