Afternoon Electives
spacer

Afternoon electives are organized to enhance and enrich learning while adding a remedial element so that students can develop their weaker areas of English acquisition. The electives are less structured than the core morning classes, and all materials are supplied by the teachers. The only thing that a student needs to bring to class is a willingness to learn (and of course a pen and notebook).

Conversation Elective
Develop listening and speaking skills. An emphasis on fluency, communication and the use of practical everyday English.
Pronunciation Elective
Students at Beginner/Pre-Intermediate levels learn how to “develop an ear” for English sounds. Through exercises focused on listening, repetition, and interactive exercises, students learn various sounds, study cross-linguistic differences, and practice overcoming problematic speech patterns.
Reading/Writing Skills Elective
Although not ongoing, reading/writing electives are added to correspond to exam preparation times, university placement periods, and when there are requests from teachers and students to enhance this important element of English learning. There are generally two levels offered: Intermediate/Upper-Intermediate, and Advanced/Upper-Advanced.
Business English Elective
Students who have an interest in business and/or work in a business setting learn basic skills by studying the following topics: presentations, meetings, business letters/memos, North American business practices, international business, and economics. Although a topical course, the main focus is on the development of business related communication and writing skills. The recommended level is Intermediate or higher.
IELTS Preparation Course Elective
Recognized by universities and workplaces as an indicator of English level, the IELTS preparation course helps students learn what skills they will need to develop in order to improve their examination scores. The course covers topics in reading, writing, listening, and structure. Practice exams, lectures, and computer lab work combine to make up the course work. The recommended level is Upper-Intermediate or higher..
