All general ESL Outreach classes teach listening, speaking, reading, writing and grammar and take into consideration student needs and interests when planning the specific content for each course. At the Beginner to Lower Intermediate levels the emphasis is on listening and speaking. At the Upper Intermediate and Advanced levels more emphasis is placed on reading, writing and grammar. Being able to speak English well is important at each level. Literacy classes are for students who have few listening and speaking skills in English and who cannot read or write English.
Students learn basic survival English.
These basic literacy classes are evening classes and are held at the Canadiana Centre. Bridge Literacy classes are for students whose listening and speaking skills in English are at an intermediate level, but whose reading and writing skills are at a beginner level. These classes teach English for everyday situations such as work, shopping, Canadian life or other situations, which interest the students in the class. Students practise speaking, listening and some reading and writing. Intermediate level classes help students improve listening, speaking, reading, writing and grammar skills.
