Academic English Pathway Johor Bahru

The Academic English Pathway develops the English needed for academic success. Students build the language, confidence and communication skills required to participate fully in learning and thrive in an international school environment.

The pathway is designed for students who would benefit from additional English language development to access learning confidently and participate fully in school life.​

Students are assessed to understand their current English development and learning needs. The level, intensity and structure of support are then personalised to help them make meaningful progress along the pathway.

Students complete Cambridge English assessments at the end of each term. Assessment outcomes, teacher observations and classroom participation help us monitor progress and determine the most appropriate next stage of support.

Academic integration is at the heart of the pathway. Students continue learning alongside their peers while receiving targeted English language development. As their English, confidence and independence grow, they participate increasingly successfully in learning and school life.

It is initially based on CAT4 verbal reasoning scores, followed by Cambridge English placement test (YLPT /CEPT) and placement interview where applicable.

Students will be formally assessed using the Cambridge English assessments at the end of each term.
