• Transform pedagogical concepts into interactive digital modules.
• Ensure the LMS content is intuitive and accessible for students with low initial proficiency.

3. Program Coordination & Reporting

• Manage the 2027 launch timeline and ensure all digital assets are ready for the start of the semester.
• Act as the main point of contact for Faculty Coordinators and Lecturers to ensure the English Language Accelerator program effectively complements their credit-bearing courses.

4. Strategic Scaling (Preparation for Year 2)
