If you would like to specialize in a particular field, you may be unsure of what courses to take. The Concentration Program will give you a pathway to develop that specialization. SILS would like to give you “the most powerful weapon” to be successful in society by providing both a broad and insightful education and the expertise to think deeply. To acquire such expertise, students need to have a cumulative study of research fields that are systematized over a long time. The recent popular research in our society is just the tip of the iceberg. The Concentration Program gives a chance that you discover the larger field under the tip of that iceberg.I applied for a place at SILS because I liked how you can graduate with or without a Concentration. Before I entered university I was interested in a variety of fields, and I was not confident that I would be able to choose a Concentration in my 4 years. To my surprise, in my second semester at SILS, I realised that I enjoyed courses in Linguistics more than any other course and thus quickly enrolled in the Linguistics Concentration. SILS offers Linguistics courses in several areas, so I was able to take classes in Phonetics and Phonology, Applied Linguistics, Sociolinguistics, and Syntax, but I particularly enjoyed studying Sociolinguistics- the study of the relationship between language and society. By gradually taking increasingly challenging classes in the field of Linguistics, I feel like I gained the background knowledge needed to start to think about the ideas discussed in class critically. I believe that the critical thinking skills that one can gain from completing a Concentration can be really useful even after graduation, and I thus strongly recommend the program.Toward theacquisition of expertise in SILSCHEONG, Zhi Yin Admitted in April 2018 Graduate of Anglo-Chinese Junior College (Singapore)At SILS, students can study a wide range of academic fields. This program has been established to enable them to study specific ones in a structured way. Students who have earned the required number of credits in courses designated by each Concentration (field of study) are eligible to receive a certificate of completion for that Concentration upon graduation. More than 50 students complete Concentrations each semester.Learn Broadly and Deeply#Concentration ProgramFROM FACULTYFROM STUDENTDeveloping critical thinking skills through the ConcentrationprogramFields of Concentration ProgramSystematic and In-depth Learning#Concentration ProgramWhy SILS?
