Program Details

Students are able to begin classes upon arrival. Because we have a continuous intake of students and the flexibility to allow students to progress at their own rate, students are able to accelerate and move through basic, intermediate and on to advanced levels of English language acquisition without compromising their language retention.

• Basic ESL is open to students with no prior English Language experience with levels 1 to 4.
• Intermediate English is suitable for students who have completed the basic levels. Intermediate English consists of levels 5 through 8 and the emphasis is on authentic language as well as on speaking and pronunciation.
• Advanced English is a program that can be modified to include English for special purposes, such as business and international commerce, medicine, engineering and academic pursuits.
• Applied Linguistics is able to prepare specific programs to fit the language needs of the learner.

All students receive a certificate of completion for the level they have achieved and acknowledgement that they have successfully completed this stage of language acquisition.
