- Skilled and supportive instructors who are trained in second language instruction methods
Our Explore Program offers a learning and cultural experience that will leave you with a new appreciation for the English language and a suitcase full of memories that will last a lifetime.
Components
The Core Component:
Students participate in The Core Component from Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm. Care is taken to ensure that everyone is placed in a class that reflects their level of ability and competence in the English language.
Morning sessions focus on developing skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing. Afternoons are reserved for practice, practice and more practice. Conversation classes followed by practical workshops will improve your speaking skills, as well as your knowledge of our city's culture and lifestyle. Workshop instructors encourage creativity as you work in supportive environments on interesting cultural topics such as music, drama, history, culture and community service, or academic topics such as grammar and conversation skills.
