MDIS Dushanbe (MDISD) offers an English Entrance Test Preparatory Programme as a complementary academic support initiative designed to help students adapt to the linguistic demands of higher education. This programme reflects MDISD’s commitment to student success by ensuring that learners are adequately prepared before undertaking their formal English entrance assessment.

    The English Entrance Test Preparatory Programme is specifically designed to support students who may require additional assistance in strengthening their English language skills. It serves as a bridge between students’ current proficiency levels and the academic standards required for admission into MDISD programmes.

    Rather than acting as a barrier to entry, the programme provides an inclusive pathway that enhances students’ readiness and confidence.

     The programme focuses on developing essential academic English competencies, including:

• Reading comprehension and critical understanding of academic texts
• Writing skills with emphasis on grammar, structure, and coherence
• Listening skills for academic and classroom contexts
• Speaking skills to build fluency and confidence
• Examination techniques and time management strategies

   Through structured learning sessions, students are guided in developing both language proficiency and test-taking skills. A key feature of this initiative is its academic oversight. The programme is managed by the Dean, Andy Tan Kien Chiang, ensuring that its delivery, quality, and standards are aligned with MDISD’s academic expectations. This leadership ensures consistency, academic integrity, and continuous improvement of the programme to meet student needs effectively.

The preparatory programme provides several important advantages:

• Smooth transition into higher education studies
• Increased confidence in using academic English
• Improved performance in the English Entrance Test
• Reduced test anxiety through familiarisation with exam formats
• Stronger foundation for future academic success across all modules

    The English Entrance Test Preparatory Programme at MDIS Dushanbe plays a vital role in supporting student readiness and academic integration. As a complementary initiative managed by the Dean, it ensures that students are well-equipped with the necessary language skills to succeed in their academic journey. By investing in early preparation and structured support, MDISD reinforces its commitment to academic excellence and student development.
