[QUOTE]Originally posted by poppy: [QB] Approx 8 months ago, my then fiancee in Cairo was doing a media studies degree at the AUC. I remember him practically begging me to teach him more English! The university, he said was moving towards a 'more English' policy. He was getting nervous, as even his exams would come under this catergory! So i'm interested to see how this policy has progressed, myself now. I went and found this Faculties job info. It clearly states lessons are to be in English Instruction. I hope this helps, and here is the article.
