Language Programs in Canada
Language Programs in Canada
It is necessary to be familiar with the official language of the country that you are going to study in. Just like some other countries around the world, Canada is also a bilingual country. The first official language in Canada is English, and the second one is French. However, French is not as popular as English, since in most provinces of Canada people speak in English. For those who intend to improve their English proficiency, two programs are offered at schools, universities, and colleges which are called ESL (English as a second language) and FSL (French as a second language). These programs are aimed at helping those international students who have a less understanding of English and French. FSL is mostly designed for the students who are traveling to French speaking cities such as Quebec, Montreal, etc. You can improve your communication skills by learning the official language of the country that you are traveling to.
The language courses that are offered in Canada, are as follows:
- General English/French
- Academic English/French
- Business English/French
- Technical English/French (medical, legal, etc.)
- Internships or work experience
- Summer or winter activity or camp programs
- Teaching training programs (CELTA, TESL, TESOL)
- Test preparation (Cambridge test, CAN test, CAEL, IELTS, TOFEL, TOEIC, DELF)
There are two types of educational institutions, every student has the opportunity to choose to study. The first option is to choose to study in a public educational institution such as high schools, universities, and colleges. The other option is to choose to study in private schools.
