Program Information

Classes

We ensure that every student is placed in a class that reflects their level of ability and competence in the English language, which is determined for each student based on a pre-arrival placement test.

Morning sessions focus on developing skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing. Practical afternoon workshops focus on speaking and listening to improve conversation skills.

Students who participate in The Languages at Work Program take a specialized afternoon workshop which will improve professional communication skills and prepare students for their work placement.

Socio-Cultural Activities

Students benefit from their participation in scheduled social activities that begin when classroom learning ends.

During socio-cultural activities, students have the opportunity to practice English skills as they participate in informal English conversation. Students will also experience interesting local history and culture, local festivals, the arts, sports and much more!
