The English Language Centre (ELC) at the University of Bahrain has a 35-year history of providing language learning and support to students who are newly admitted and to those in other integrated programmes. The ELC has the responsibility of raising students’ standard of English through the Foundation English Programme. The University of Bahrain considers the Foundation Programme as one of the institution’s pillars – to support the university’s mainstream programmes which are delivered in English and because of the importance of English proficiency in the professional success of students.

The ELC has a team of about 33 dedicated and dynamic ELT educators. They provide high-quality instruction to students in learning the English Language. In addition to the emphasis on sound pedagogy in classroom instruction, the ELC uses technology effectively to enhance the teaching and learning experience.
