Intensive English (ESL)

Description des cours

ENROLLMENT and PLACEMENT:

Upon registration, new students do an oral and written assessment test in order to be placed in an ESL class which corresponds to their level of English. Each session is in two parts which lasts for 8 weeks. Students who obtain a letter grade of B(80%) or higher will be able to move on to the next level. Most students enroll for 4-6 sessions. After passing Intermediate level 3, students are eligible to apply for the diploma courses.

ESL ADVANTAGES (Basic to high Intermediate)

Diverse Programming: Our programs (Starter to Advanced) are designed differently to focus on the particular English needs of that level and prevent students who take all levels from ever become bored! We also can accommodate split skills.

Comprehensive program: Students learn and practice all skills in English: reading, writing, listening and speaking on a daily basis.

Accessibility to Exceptional Teachers: We have professional, experienced teachers who love their jobs and are sociable with the students in and outside the class and are available for consultation.

Friendly Atmosphere: We are a big school with a big heart. Everyone is like family

Fun Activities: We have school tournaments and encourage daily activities; once a month teachers and ESL classes have an all day excursion to have fun and meet students from other levels.

ESL ADVANTAGES (Advanced):

Function and Fluency: Students at this level work on building their fluency in English by practicing speaking skills and functions used daily by Native Speakers.

Authentic Material: Students are challenged by going beyond ESL resources to actual English readings and vocabulary as used by Native Speakers in the real world.

University and College Pathway: The courses in the program aid the translation of students into SGIC UCPP, which models itself on Canadian University/ College-level content, instruction and expectation.

ALL LEVELS:
