• To provide students with a wide range of learning experiences to develop and enhance their English literacy and proficiency.
• To give students opportunities for personal and intellectual development, and extend their knowledge and experiences of other cultures through the English medium.
• To help students prepare for the changing socio-economic demands resulting from advances in information technology, including the interpretation, use and production of materials for pleasure, study and work in the English medium.
