So even after class, you can talk with international students in the dormitory, naturally using the English you learned in class while also experiencing their cultures. Instructors are on campus 24 hours a day, and because students have responded well, there are plans to increase the number of resident instructors further. Housing for instructors is currently being built, and as soon as it is completed (around April to May 2006), about 40 instructors are planned to reside on campus. [Instructor Level and Nationality Ratio] Our faculty hold the PRC (Licensure Examination for Teachers) English teaching license and are graduates in English education from teachers' colleges at prestigious Philippine universities with many years of English teaching experience. Having passed through fierce competition, they are top-level instructors whose fluent English is indistinguishable from that of native teachers. Alongside them, native-speaker instructors from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia with long English teaching experience in TESOL, TESL and TEFL, including a Canadian instructor who graduated from the medical school of the University of Oxford in the UK and retired after working as chief physician at an Australian government hospital, will be responsible for students' English education. [Classes] Classes total 11 hours: the regular course is 6 hours (1-on-1 = 2 hours / 1-on-4 = 2 hours / 1-on-8 = 2 hours), plus 5 hours of elective classes. The elective classes consist of TOEIC 2 hours / Screen 1 hour / Swimming 1 hour / Golf 1 hour, and all are offered free of charge. The free swimming lessons and on-campus golf lessons are especially popular, and participation in TOEIC and TOEFL classes is high. Spartan-style restrictions apply to entering and leaving the campus. Going out is not allowed on weekdays until 7:00 and after 11:00; going out is free on weekends.
