ESL Courses

Our ESL programs are designed to improve English language skills of newcomer children and youth, or marginally employed youth. By improving their English language skills, they will enhance their employment prospects and educational opportunities. By gaining required English language skills, immigrants to Alberta will integrate faster into their communities and be able to obtain adequate employment.

We all know that there are many advantages to children learning English as a second language early in life. For example, it enhances their cognitive development. There are also cultural advantages, as a child may remain tied to his or her native tongue while embracing English – the most widely spoken language – early on.
