Background
In 1985, in recognition of the future trend that students in secondary school must learn a foreign language, either French or English, the Ministry of Education, along with an Australian non-government organization, Quaker Service Australia (QSA) established a Cambodian English language Training Program (CELT). This was designed firstly to provide English language training to government officials and to further train teachers of secondary schools.
CELT began in 1985 when QSA undertook development of English language training in Cambodia, sponsored by the Australian government. The project grew significantly over three phases of 1985-1988, 1988-1991 and 1991-1993, expanding from 15 to almost 150 students. Classes were first taught by a Cambodian teacher and later by Australian teachers.
The academic part of this program was initially developed and run by an Australian project team. The Department of English was established with financial and academic assistance from QSA, to provide training in English and in teaching. The department was managed by QSA until 1993 when it was handed over to a joint project between International Development Program (IDP), Education, Australia and the University of Canberra. This project was funded by the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) until the end of 1996. When the joint project team took over the department in 1993, the four-year B.Ed. (TEFL) degree curriculum was designed and prepared with consultants from the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS). In 1997, the four-year B.A. in English (English for Work Skills) was introduced to enhance English knowledge and skills for current and future employment. Today, the IFL’s Department of English is regarded as one of Cambodia’s leading language institutions, offering two full-time degree courses and catering for over 800 students.
The IFL's Department of English co-hosted the Fifth International Conference on Language and Development in 2001 with IDP Australia. English staff were able to play a key role in the organisation of the event, presentation of papers and participation in seminars.
Admission
Candidates for the B.Ed (TEFL) and B.A English must have a High School Certificate or a qualification deemed equivalent by the Higher Education Department of the Ministry of Education Youth and Sport (MOEYS). They must also pass an entrance examination on English (intermediate level) run through the Admission Committee of the Institute of Foreign Languages.

Assessment
Assessment for the Bachelor degrees is through ongoing assignments, homework, class participation, oral presentations, as well class tests, and end-of-semester examinations.
Resources
IFL Self-Access Centre: The Self-Access Centre contains extensive reading, listening and video kits for language and vocabulary development. Students also have access to a computer lab with email and Internet.
Debate Club: Following Cambodia’s entry into ASEAN, the Department of English recognised the need for students to develop strong English communication skills in order to compete in the international business arena. The debating club began in February 2001 with the aim of developing skills to gain skills in business, communication and networking, through participation in ASEAN activities, such as the ASEAN Varsities’ Debate, the All Asians’ Debate, and the Austral-Asian Intervarsity Debate Championship held in countries around the region. Debating team members improve their English language competence, their general knowledge about ASEAN nations and the rest of the world; and their reasoning, analytical and critical thinking skills. They exchange ideas and experiences with people of other ASEAN nations, forge relationships and develop confidence in public speaking, particularly expressing and defending ideas before large audiences. Contact Mr. Roth Hok for more information on membership and activities.
Speaking Club: The speaking club meets every Saturday morning in room 2.1 (IFL building) and is open to all students in the Department of English. The club’s aims are to improve students’ English proficiency, enrich their social behaviour and communication skills, increase their self-confidence, familiarise students with academic activities in the English Department, give students an opportunity to make friends, and broaden their outlook through fun activities on the weekend. Activities include discussions, presentations, role plays, quizzes, English games, picnics, presentations from guest speakers and company visits. Contact Mr. Khan Bophan for more information.

Introduction
The Bachelor in French is an intense theoretical and practical degree that gives students the knowledge to begin careers where the French language is required. In year three students choose at least one elective as an area of specialization. These areas are: Teaching, Tourism, Translation, Journalism and Linguistics. Upon passing the examination in year three, they can continue the electives in year four.
With cooperation from French organizations, this course has a highly sophisticated program. Some graduates have the opportunity to study French or other disciplines overseas in countries including France, Canada, Japan or Singapore through scholarships such as that offered by AUPELF.
Some teachers can continue to study for their maitrise or DEA degrees by correspondence through the University of Rouen. The university sends documents and books to Cambodia for study and students send their work back to France for correction. The final examinations take place at the Royal University of Phnom Penh under the supervision of examiners from the University of Rouen.

Background
In the 1960s, the Khmer Royal University had a Faculty of Letters, which offered French language courses. From 1985-1989, when the Institute of Foreign Languages opened, two-year long short courses in French language were offered. In 1989, after merging with the Teacher Training College to create the Phnom Penh University, the government of Cambodia requested that a French Department and full-degree program begin. This five-year degree in French language was reduced to four-years in 1995 to be consistent with all other degree programs in Cambodia prior to becoming the Royal University of Phnom Penh.

Assessment
Final grades are based on a combination of ongoing classwork and homework (50%) and final examinations (50%).
Admission
All applicants must pass the National University Entrance Examinations on written and oral French.
The course is demanding and is run at a high level. Therefore students who have taken the bilingual French/Khmer option at high school (those who major in French and study other subjects such as mathematics and geography in the French language) often find it easier to enter the course.

Introduction
The Japanese Language Course, run through the Institute of Foreign Languages (IFL), is currently operating as a non-credit course for selected students already studying at RUPP across all departments.
The need for speakers of Japanese is increasing, particularly with the expansion of Cambodia’s tourism industry and the increasing popularity of Cambodia as a destination for Japanese tourists. Some students who complete this course have the opportunity to study in Japan.
This course consists of four grades. Each grade takes one year and students must study for four years to complete the course. The first and second years cover a basic level, and third and fourth years are at an intermediate level. At the end of the grade, students must take an achievement test and those who pass the test can receive a certificate.
Classes operate at lunchtime (11:10am-12:40pm) on the 3rd floor of IFL.

Background
The course was originally established in 1994 by the Japan Overseas Volunteers Cooperation (JOVC) to promote Japanese language education in Cambodia and to support Cambodia increase its further education system. The first Japanese class began in 1995 with 40 students and a teacher assigned from JOVC. Since then, the courses and teaching hours have continually increased to cope with the increasing student demand. There are now over 100 students from all departments.
Admission
Because the Cambodian-Japanese Cultural Center and the Japanese Department will be open, the Japanese Language Course will be closed down. The office does not have any plan to select 1st grade students in the future. However, 2nd grade (and above) students of RUPP who want to study Japanese must contact the office. These students can join the course if they pass an examination.
The tuition fee for students is US$35 a year. This covers textbooks, glossaries, photocopies and certificates. Students do not need to pay any more money than the fee at all.
