English Language Learning (ELL)

Based on communicative teaching and learning practices, English Language Learning (ELL) is an intensive five-level, full-time program designed for international students who wish to improve their English language skills. If you're an international student, this program will help you build on and improve your language skills for success in college, university or your career.

• ELL's five levels (Elementary, Beginner, Pre-intermediate, Intermediate, High Intermediate) run each semester.
• You'll be placed into one of the five levels depending on the results of a placement test that will ensure you are in the correct language level.
• Each level runs for one semester and is divided into five modules.
• You can start the program at the beginning of any module, depending on your date of arrival.
• You can join the program at regular intervals, at the start of each module.

ELL will offer you the opportunity to:

• Study in a supportive college environment;
• Interact with students from around the world in your classes;
• Develop effective academic communication skills by focusing on the key areas of reading, writing, listening, speaking and pronunciation;
• Participate in communicative activities, interactive exercises, group work and presentations;
• Have a direct pathway to college communication courses;
• Access helpful resources and services (tutoring services, library, counselling, computer labs);
• Learn from highly qualified and dedicated English as a Second Language teaching professionals who provide quality instruction, encouragement and guidance.

Languages Canada has fully accredited the ELL program.
