Welcome from the Director
Welcome from the Managing Director
Malcolm Raedel
CELUSA, the Centre for English Language in the University of South Australia, is committed to Educating Professionals, Applying Knowledge, and Serving the Community (the mission of the University of South Australia), through the delivery of English language programs at home and abroad. As part of this commitment, CELUSA maintains administration for the monthly and bi-monthly IELTS tests in South Australia, and continues to be the only Testing Centre for IELTS and TOEFL in South Australia.
CELUSA is the exclusive provider of the University Entrance Certificate –the English language and academic skills preparation program that offers an alternative English language pathway and conditional direct entry into undergraduate and postgraduate programs at the University of South Australia.
CELUSA is also a specialist provider of programs in General Intensive English, and English for Academic Purposes. CELUSA is proud to offer, in conjunction with the School of Nursing and Midwifery at the University of South Australia, English for Health Professionals as part of the Australian Registered Nurse Training Program for overseas registered nurses.
As English increasingly becomes the language of Business and Commerce, Science and Technology, Tourism, Communications and the Arts, CELUSA is focussed on preparing students for a life of learning, cultural enrichment, and professional success.
We welcome you to our website and look forward to the prospect of making a contribution to the achievement of your personal goals, through the learning and teaching of English, as a medium for communication.
With best wishes,
Yours sincerely,
Malcolm Raedel
Managing Director
Welcome from the Director of Studies
Kathy Coutts
While International Education plays an important role in the global
interaction of countries and economies today, international students are the
key to increased understanding of individuals living their everyday lives in
societies across the globe. The opportunity to integrate students from a
diversity of countries into CELUSA classes and programs, and to witness
their progress over a short study vacation, or a longer period at CELUSA,
makes this education institution a very special place.
CELUSA is fortunate to have a highly-qualified and international staff
deliver a range of English language programs using innovative, yet
systematic, methodology. CELUSA follows adult learning principles and allows
students the independence of learning and the freedom to discuss and listen
in a tolerant environment.
As a University English language centre, CELUSA caters for the serious
English language learner, and believes positive results will be the outcome.
CELUSA is unusual in offering two, quite different academic preparation
programs to students planning to progress further in their studies. As each
program allows for the particular needs of different students, CELUSA
academic and support staff assist students in deciding which is the pathway
option most appropriate to them.
As the IELTS Testing Centre for South Australia, CELUSA strives to provide
every opportunity for its students and potential permanent residents to do
well in their language tests so that they can achieve their goals with the
assistance of an internationally recognised language certificate.
I join with the Executive Director and the CELUSA staff in inviting you to
consider CELUSA as your English language study pathway.
Sincerely,
Kathy Coutts
