DIMENSIONS International College and Singapore are in a unique
position in Asia as the usage of English at home are becoming more prevalent
according to a recent Census of the Population (Department of Statistics Singapore) . This means travelers and students can
easily converse in English on the streets of Singapore. It is considered one of the best places to
learn the English language in the region, especially for those who do not wish
to travel far but wish to stay close to home.
DIMENSIONS International College is located in Singapore and gives
students the opportunity to study English with professional lecturers with ease
and comfort. The variety of students ranges from children to adults. Most
students choose to do full-time study but part-time study is available
too. Let’s compare students who study in Singapore versus
those who study in other Asian countries.
Students who choose to study English in their native countries or
other Asian countries might get some knowledge in the classroom but that’s as
far as it goes considering the fact that there is little real-life experience
and practice outside the classroom with native speakers. However, when you
study at DIMENSIONS International College, not only do you receive quality
education but also, you also receive education outside the classroom, on the
streets and in the shops. All signs, billboards, notices, etc. are in English.
The English courses offered at DIMENSIONS International College are
from Elementary to Advanced. Whether the students are full-time, part-time or
holiday students, they come to Singapore from all over the world, such as
China, Korea, Mongolia, Vietnam, Spain, Columbia, Brazil, Russia, Poland, and
Hungary. All these students experience going out on extracurricular activities
with their fellow classmates and teachers. At DIMENSIONS International College,
they can take what they’ve learned in the classroom and use it in the real
world.
There are some misconceptions about Singapore. One of them is in
regards to the English language. For instance, one of our lecturers, who is
also a native speaker of the English language, mentioned that his wife is a
Singaporean. He recounted, “It is funny when my wife encounters people from
other English speaking countries who visit Singapore as they will be surprised
that she can speak and write better than many native speakers!”
As mentioned above, signs of all kinds, in shops or road signs are
in English or maybe a combination of English and another language. If you go to the heart of Chinatown you won’t
have any problems reading the signs as they will be both in English and
Chinese, which is also a great way to improve your English by comparing the
two. If you visit the neighborhood of Kampong
Glam you will see signs in English and Malay. If you visit the neighborhood of Little India, you will see signs in
English and Tamil. As you can see, most
students who study English at DIMENSIONS International College in Singapore
will have an easy time improving their English.
