Language
Before entering the specialized degree programs of YIC, students participate in the Preparatory Year Program, which includes 20 hours of English language tuition per week. There are two separate intensive English programs, corresponding to the two main tracks existing in the College: technical and business. Both of these programs share identical reading and writing components but separate ESP curriculum. On successful completion of the preparatory year program students will have improved their level of English enough to enable them to participate in degree level programs. Further English language courses are essential components of all the College's degree programs. As a result, the students' English language ability continues to improve as they progress towards graduation.

Famous quotes containing the word language:
“The human face is the organic seat of beauty.... It is the register of value in development, a record of Experience, whose legitimate office is to perfect the life, a legible language to those who will study it, of the majestic mistress, the soul.”
—Eliza Farnham (1815–1864)
“If fancy then
Unequal fails beneath the pleasing task,
Ah, what shall language do?”
—James Thomson (1700–1748)
“Man, even man debased by the neocapitalism and pseudosocialism of our time, is a marvelous being because he sometimes speaks. Language is the mark, the sign, not of his fall but of his original innocence. Through the Word we may regain the lost kingdom and recover powers we possessed in the far-distant past.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
