Program Outcome
Our ESL program helps students build confidence in English. With our experience as a post-secondary school, we noticed that language learners tend to judge their language acquisition based on their speaking progression. Therefore, this program aims to increase a student’s confidence in English through a personalized and creative learning experience by addressing and focusing on common learner errors, real-world situation, and active participation.
