SDC Conducts English for Administrative Purposes Workshop Series

The Staff Development Centre (SDC) conducted a 12-day English for Administrative Purposes Workshop Series for administrative support staff members. The certificate programme commenced on 19 May 2026 and concluded on 25 August 2026, with the aim of strengthening participants’ English language and communication skills for their professional and administrative responsibilities. The programme began with a placement test and included learning activities covering the four core language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The sessions focused on practical language use, workplace communication, and building participants’ confidence in using English in their professional roles.
Dr S. Rajadurai, Senior Lecturer, Department of English Language Teaching, Faculty of Arts, and Mrs F N Wickremasinghe, Visiting Lecturer, Faculty of Arts, conducted the programme. Their expertise and guidance supported the participants throughout the workshop series and contributed to an engaging learning environment. A total of 23 staff members completed the programme, and a Certificate Awarding Ceremony was held on 29 September 2026 at the centre premises to recognise their achievement.
