Course Description

This comprehensive English program consists of twelve weeks of instruction and one week of exams.

Students attend separate courses in grammar, speaking & listening, and reading & writing. The program helps students to develop vocabulary; improve proficiency at integrating critical thinking skills, reading and writing tasks; increase accuracy and fluency in English communication.

Level 6, the top level of the Semester Program, departs from the broad communication goals of levels 1-5 and focuses on the written and oral skills necessary for success in the English language post-secondary classroom.  Students completing level 6 with a minimum final grade of B+ in each course are eligible for direct entry into the Academic Communication Certificate.

Optional courses available to enrol in with ESL 100 (Face-to-face programs only):

  •   Activity Program (ESL 102 or ESL 103)
  •   Homestay Program (ESL 900)
  •   TOEIC Preparation Course (ESL 205)

Please see Program Policies and Procedures for information on admission, payment options and refunds.
