About KUIS 8
KUIS 8 is a facility which opened on April 7th 2017 to house the SALC (Self-Access Learning Center), the ELI (English Language Institute), 16 classrooms, a cafe, and RILAE (Research Institute of learner Autonomy Education).
About the SALC
Specifically, our objectives are to support learners in:
- becoming part of a diverse, inclusive and multilingual learning community
- taking a prosocial perspective by not only interacting in their target languages but also supporting others in doing so
- becoming more aware and in control of their learning processes through reflection
- understanding variables that affect their learning such as previous experiences, interests, personality, motivations, needs and goals
- utilising appropriate communities, spaces, and resources for their own learning needs
- becoming confident language users
- developing language skills needed for future dreams
- developing leadership skills to understand and direct their own learning and also support others
*Prosocial behavior is something you choose to do to benefit or help others.
