A limited number of remedial classes are also offered. Immigrant classes run throughout the day. Classes for international visa students are held in the afternoon. For those who enjoy shopping for textbooks and audio and video tapes, a visit to the world famous ESL collection in the bookstore might also be fun. During their visit, educators will learn more about LEAP, visit the campus and lab facilities, and meet with instructors.
Classes are student-centered and focus on themes that are relevant to students' needs.
Students participate in class, group, and individual activities in a nonacademic setting. Participants will tour the Emily Carr Exhibition using a variety of ESL strategies to introduce ways of looking at art in a museum context. School tours are always fully booked as our hands-on workshops and activities are very popular with a wide age range. Self-guided tour packages will be available. The YMCA International College has provided English language instruction, and cultural, recreational, and community involvement activities for international students since 1978.
