The ESLI Experience

Come to ESLI and enjoy
all that CANADA or the
USA have to offer. We
know you will have a
great experience.

The ESLI language Centers are designed to prepare students from non-English speaking countries to successfully enter and study at North American universities.

Listening: Using a variety of sources, students learn effective listening skills that they can implement both inside and outside the classroom.

Speaking / Pronunciation: Students gain confidence speaking in a variety of situations: casual conversations, formal dialogue, class presentations, etc.

Reading: Through in class reading exercises and a personalized reading program, students learn to read for pleasure and for university studies. Exposure to a wide variety of texts provides students with opportunities to find and select their own materials as well as develop some personal preferences.

Composition: Through guided practice, students learn how to research, organize, and draft a research paper. Confidence in self and peer evaluation is encouraged, as it is equally important to a successful university experience.

Vocabulary: Students develop a vocabulary base appropriate for everyday conversations and classroom situations. In addition, they learn methods for long-term building and retaining functional vocabulary.

Grammar: Students are encouraged to learn grammar through use. Grammar instruction is provided within the context of listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
