Interview with Kimberly - Summary:
NAIT has 5 levels of English. The placement test is divided into listening and speaking, reading and vocabulary, and writing and grammar components. Each level is one semester long. Level 5 = EAP, or ready to enter a university program. NAIT uses recruitment in students home countries. Ask for Jackie Su or Tina Zhao for information in Chinese. NAIT uses an academic buddy system for newcomers. NAIT also has some evening classes which educate beyond level 5.
