Western Town College

This is a pathway program designed for students who want to enter colleges/universities in Canada or the U.S. Students will study academic English to develop integrated English skills (reading, writing, speaking, listening). Students learn how to write university essays, summarize articles, do academic research and do oral presentations.

In our morning classes, students learn fundamental grammar points and integrated skills necessary to communicate in English. Our ESL classes include 7 levels. ESL Levels 1 to 6 focus on general English grammar with integrated skills. In Level 7, students study more specific subjects such as University Preparation Program, Power Talk Master, Advanced Speaking Programs, and IELTS Preparation Program.
