Alathena English Language Institute (AELI)

Alathena English Language Institute (AELI) is designed for both local and international students who wish to improve their English language fluency level through the ESL learning. This will enable students to be more successful in their application to the best universities and to achieve the highest standards possible in their secondary school and university studies. The ESL Program helps international students from non-native English-speaking countries to integrate better and faster into Canadian study life. The professional curriculum starts from the four aspects of listening, speaking, reading, writing, fully establishing students' logical thinking in English, and comprehensively strengthening and improving students' comprehensive English level so that they can get twice the result with half the effort for their future study. Students will be asked to take both an English language and mathematics test. Test results in English will determine whether students will begin with ELI courses or go directly into the Ontario Secondary School English Courses.

Class time: 110 hours per course
