Nisai Holistic English Language Proficiency Programme (N-HELPP)

Building English language proficiency is essential for academic success, international communication, and lifelong confidence. Through the Nisai Holistic English Language Proficiency Programme (N-HELPP), learners gain the tools, guidance, and confidence needed to communicate effectively in both academic and real-world settings.

Nisai Holistic English Language Proficiency Programme (N-HELPP)

English language proficiency refers to the ability to read, write, listen, and speak in English with fluency and understanding. It is the foundation for effective communication, enabling learners to express ideas clearly in study, work, and everyday life.

At Nisai, proficiency is not measured by a single test. It is developed through consistent learning, guided practice, and supportive teaching. Our approach focuses on improving each learner’s English language skills across all four key areas, reading, writing, listening, and speaking, to achieve measurable progress and real-world competence.

At Nisai, we recognise that learning English is more than mastering grammar and vocabulary, it’s about building skills for life. English is a gateway to greater opportunities, not only within the classroom but in everyday life and future workplaces. With N-HELPP, we offer a personalised and impactful approach to teaching English that supports every learner’s unique journey.

Experience dynamic live teaching sessions via the Nisai Virtual Academy, where skilled educators customise lessons, and enhance literacy and language abilities using our cutting-edge software, Units of Sound and WordQ.

Strong English proficiency is essential for academic success. Many universities and international schools require students to demonstrate a specific level of proficiency, often through recognised English language tests such as IELTS Academic, TOEFL iBT, or Cambridge English exams.

N-HELPP provides the foundation for learners to meet these English language requirements. By focusing on comprehension, written expression, and oral fluency, students gain the confidence to participate fully in an academic environment and achieve the minimum scores needed for higher education.

The N-HELPP programme combines live instruction, personalised feedback, and advanced e-learning in English language education. Learners build confidence through structured lessons and guided activities, supported by teachers trained to adapt to each learner’s pace and ability.

Key elements of the programme include:

Live Teaching: Interactive sessions through the Nisai Virtual Academy, where skilled educators deliver lessons aligned with international English language requirements.
Units of Sound: A literacy intervention programme designed to strengthen reading, spelling, and memory for students who face barriers to language learning.
WordQ Software: Assistive technology that enhances writing fluency, comprehension, and communication skills.

This blended model allows students to learn English online while receiving the same individual attention and structure they would in a traditional classroom.

Units of Sound is an online literacy intervention programme specifically designed for learners with low literacy levels or those who struggle with phonological (sound) processing. Its multi-sensory, structured approach covers reading, spelling, memory, and dictation activities, making it ideal for improving fundamental literacy skills. Units of sound can also be sold separately.

Reading: Focused on decoding for students with sound processing difficulties, helping them improve reading fluency and comprehension.
Spelling and Memory: Structured practice to enhance recall, accuracy, and writing skills.
Multisensory Learning: This helps reinforce phonological awareness and makes learning more memorable.
Writing Skills: Develops sentence structure, punctuation, and proofreading abilities within a controlled framework.

This programme helps students monitor their progress with reading fluency materials and learner recordings, ensuring steady improvement.

WordQ is a powerful assistive technology tool that supports students in reading, writing, and communication with ease and independence.

Text-to-Speech: Improves reading comprehension and effective proofreading.
Word Prediction: Provides accurate word suggestions to enhance writing.
Speech Recognition: “Talk-to-type” feature (PC only) for hands-free writing.
ThoughtQ: Simplifies research by offering secure and easy topic exploration.
Available on both desktop (PC and Mac) and as a web app for Chromebooks, WordQ is ideal for helping learners of all ages write with greater fluency and confidence. Its Pro version is designed for older students with age-appropriate vocabulary. It can be used on tablets, and doesn’t need internet connection to work.

The five levels of English language proficiency, as defined by the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), guide learners from beginner to advanced mastery:

A1 – Beginner: Can understand and use simple expressions in familiar situations.
A2 – Elementary: Can communicate in routine tasks and describe simple aspects of their background.
B1 – Intermediate: Can deal with most situations likely to arise while travelling or studying.
B2 – Upper-Intermediate: Can produce clear, detailed text and engage in fluent conversation.
C1–C2 – Advanced and Proficient: Can express themselves fluently and precisely, suitable for academic purposes and professional environments.

The C2 Proficiency level, also known as Cambridge English Proficiency (CPE), represents the highest level qualification recognised internationally. It demonstrates that a learner is a highly competent English speaker capable of understanding complex material and communicating effectively in any context.

1-year subscription to Units of Sound: Structured literacy intervention that builds core reading, spelling, and writing skills.

Yes. N-HELPP supports learners preparing for recognised qualifications such as Cambridge English Proficiency, IELTS Academic, and TOEFL iBT. By improving each English skill individually, students build the foundation for higher performance across all test areas, reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

Learners aiming for university admission or employment in English-speaking countries can use N-HELPP to provide evidence of their developing ability, achieve required scores, and demonstrate readiness for study or work in the UK, Australia, Antigua and Barbuda, or other majority English-speaking countries.

Achieving a high level of English proficiency opens doors to academic opportunities, global communication, and career advancement. Whether a learner plans to study at degree level, join a multinational organisation, or work in an international environment, their ability to communicate effectively sets them apart.
