English as a Second Language (ESL)
This program is a communicative approach to English as a second language learning, providing learners with an understanding, not only of the language, but also the Canadian culture. The instruction is based on a thematic and communicative approach to developing language used in daily life and job related situations. Systematic approach to ongoing classroom-based language assessment is done through Portfolio Based Language Assessment (PBLA) whereby learners collect evidence of their progress and accomplishments in relation to identified learning goals. PBLA is referenced to the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB).
Funded by the Ontario Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skill Development.
Consumable fee charged when applicable.
