ABOUT CAMPUS

The Bishwo Bhasa Campus, also known as the Campus of International Languages (CIL), is situated on Pradarshani Marg in Kathmandu. It is the sole campus of Tribhuvan Institution (TU), the oldest and most prestigious institution in Nepal, dedicated to teaching languages. The only campus in Kathmandu that offers language instruction is here. The Himalayan Language Program, which teaches Nepali, Sanskrit, Newari, and Tibetan, and the Foreign Language Program, which teaches English, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Russian, and Urdu, are the two language programs now in operation on campus. Italian and Arabic will be added to the list of foreign languages on the campus as well.

Other than English, language programs are offered as two-year courses broken up into four semesters. "Ordinary Level" refers to the first two semesters, while "Advanced Level" refers to the latter two semesters. A Post-Advanced third-year course in the Nepali language program covers the study of Nepali grammar, history, culture, and literature. Additionally, a third-year Japanese language course has begun on campus. "Basic English" and "Advanced/Writing English" are the two levels of the English language program.

Students get knowledge of four basic language skills, namely, listening, speaking, reading, and writing (LSRW). Each semester is roughly divided into three equal parts by two internal assessment tests to evaluate how far the students have learned the skills. Each semester is concluded with final examinations. Students must secure at least 60% marks in each exam to get a promotion to higher-level courses. The following are the test titles:

Grammar
Reading Comprehension, Composition, and Dictation
Listening Comprehension and Reading / Recitation
Viva-voce / Oral
