Optional Extras

BEYOND TEXTBOOK

A good English teacher never focuses solely on textbooks, and a fun English class should always go beyond textbook. At AIL, our EAP teachers prepare a wide variety of engaging in-class activities — such as show and share, open discussions, pair debates, group presentations, and individual essays — to ensure students apply what they learn and improve both their spoken and written English effectively and naturally. Beyond the classroom, AIL’s EAP program also organises outdoor excursions that connect with weekly topics and extend learning into real-life contexts. Students have the opportunity to immerse themselves in places such as the Royal Botanic Gardens, NGV exhibitions, ACMI shows, and more — learning English through experience, exploring Melbourne’s rich cultural diversity, and seeing the language come alive.

CORE TEXTBOOK

With the rapid changes happening in the world every day, regular course review, textbook updates, and curriculum upgrades are essential to help students meet their learning goals and achieve success. In July 2025, the AIL Academic Team partnered with Cambridge University Press to adopt the Unlock 3rd Edition as the core textbook for AIL’s English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program. This makes AIL the first institution to implement this new series. Unlock is a six-level paired skills English course designed to develop students’ critical thinking, academic, and language skills.

A big thank you to all the teachers and admin staff for taking such good care of my 14-year-old niece during her five-week general English course. The admin team was always friendly, and the teachers were truly excellent—knowledgeable, patient, and e"
