London International Academy is aware that second-language international-students need additional help to improve their English skills in order to meet the expectations of upper level Academic English courses like ENG 3U and ENG 4U.
Once a student arrives at London International Academy they are given an English Placement Test, and based on their results we place them in one of the seven English Levels.
Our ESL CENTRE incorporates three levels of ESL, A0, B0, and C0. All three levels are taught in the same class and this allows our teachers to move students along the spectrum according to their own language development.
We have introduced the English as a Second Language Centre (ESL Centre) as a way to work with students who require one-on-one assistance to build their confidence in both spoken and written English. The class sizes are small, between eight to ten students; to ensure that each student receives the attention they need in order to succeed.
ESL Centre Students will participate in a variety of interactive learning workshops including:
- Word games
- Dramatic improvisations
- Speech making
- Creative writing
- Debates
- Resume/cover-letter formatting
Periodic progress reports and quizzes keep students focused.
