Universitas Internasional Batam
inaugurated its International Linguistic Center last June 20, 2003.
The idea of establishing a linguistic centre within the university
was prompted by the growing need to be competitive globally.
English, whether we realize it or not, has become the language
of the world. It is the medium that links more than 200 countries
around the globe. Thus, having a command of the English language
makes us at par with global demands for effective communication and
interaction in media, business, education, technology, and other fields.
It is the goal and desire of the UIB International
Linguistic Centre to provide quality and professional English courses
and other language courses using the best materials and facilities
available. The Centre promises to make the learning process meaningful
and effective in the context of authentic communication. Participants
will be challenged to think, interact, and apply what they learn in
class, focusing on using the language in every day life.
Our current and past clients are Perkin Elmer,
Citra Welgrow, Citra Pembina Pengangkutan Industries, Kabil Indonusa
Estate, Semblog Citranusa, Citra Agramasinti Nusantara and Nanindah
Mutiara Shipyard.
