English as a Second Language

The English Language Centre offers quality English as a Second Language (ESL) programs that are specifically designed to help you gain fluency in English.

All of the four major communicative skills - listening, speaking, reading and writing - are practiced to enable students to more readily understand and respond to contemporary spoken English.

Choose between our four-week courses, semester or immersion programs.

General Languages

International Language Courses include 10 weekly classes designed around everyday topics including greetings, personal information, family, home, community, travel, health, shopping, food and restaurants. Topics may vary according to student interest and level. Emphasis is on oral communication with focus on writing and grammar at the instructor’s discretion.
