Academics

The International English Program offers a variety of Morning and Afternoon Courses that are designed to meet the educational goals of students of all English abilities, from beginner to university level. Although it is not required, students are encouraged to take both a Morning Course and an Afternoon Course to maximize their learning experience.

General English Course
The General English Course offers daily classes led by fully-accredited English language teachers that develop all aspects of students’ English language abilities, including: speaking, listening, writing, reading, grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. The aim of the course is to help students improve their confidence, fluency, and accuracy through a variety of communicative activities, such as collaborative projects, discussions, and presentations. Students are encouraged throughout the course to share their own knowledge and experience in the classroom.
General English classes focus on learning grammar and vocabulary by communicating with others. Students wishing additional practice with general conversation and pronunciation have the option of taking an afternoon speaking class.

English For Global Business
The English for Global Business Course (EBC) is designed for people who wish to become more comfortable using English in their current job or who are interested in a business-related career where English will be used. This course provides practice using English to communicate effectively in everyday professional activities such as organising and participating in meetings, giving presentations, and demonstrating intercultural competence. Each week, you will work on specialised professional tasks and a collaborative project as part of your independent study. Our classes provide opportunity for you to actively practise new language skills and integrate course content by engaging with your instructor and other participants.

Academic English Course
Our Academic English Course (AEC) is designed for students who wish to develop essential skills for success at a university where English is used as the language of instruction. This course uses content primarily from the social sciences to practice transferable skills that apply to multiple undergraduate programs. The curriculum focuses on using academic language through critical reading, lecture content, seminar participation, and research skills to become well-prepared for university study in English.

Speaking & Society Course
The Speaking & Society Course is intended for students who want extended practice with expressing themselves in English and engaging with others about a variety of social issues in today’s connected world. Through this structured opportunity to interact with others regardless of proficiency in a multicultural environment, this course is a stepping stone between level-specific general English classes and real-world language experience. In it, you will develop your fluency, confidence, and variety of ways to express ideas about meaningful topics affecting our societies.

IELTS Preparation Course
The IELTS Preparation Course (IPC) is designed for intermediate and advanced students who plan to study at an English language university and who will need to take the IELTS Academic Test. Throughout the course, students learn strategies and develop the skills necessary for success on the test. Reading, writing, listening, and speaking components are balanced in terms of awareness-raising for the test question type and time practiced in class. Sample tests are used throughout the program.  
Please note that this course is highly focused on test preparation and may not be suitable for students who do not intend to take the IELTS test in the near future.

Culture & Community Course
Being a modern citizen involves valuing the differences and recognizing the similarities between diverse groups of people. The Culture & Community Course (CCC) is designed to engage international students with opportunities to improve their core language proficiency while exploring approaches to intercultural communication and developing projects that involve a community-centred approach to learning. Students will explore cultural content locally from Toronto, regionally from Canada, and globally from student cultures and beyond to better understand how context impacts communication. This course requires students to be active learners and work collaboratively on a project that can positively impact a local community area within the city through class instruction that focuses on exploring communication strategies, raising cultural awareness, and identifying potential challenges.
