PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Glenbow College offers three main ESL programs which are interconnected to each other.
ESL-1 (General English) is an integrated language skills program including reading, writing, grammar, speaking and listening. This program is designed for expanding students’ vocabulary, increase listening, reading, and writing skills, and build the self-confidence in using English in a variety of settings. General English is for students from elementary to intermediate level students.
ESL-2 (Speaking and Fluency) is a four-unit ESL program designed to develop nonnative speakers’ oral skills that are relevant to establishing and maintaining direct conversation and communication with native speakers of English. The program focuses on a range of skillsets, including improving listening comprehension, participating in class discussions, understanding conversational strategies, giving group presentations, asking and answering questions, interacting effectively with native speakers, and improving through self-evaluation of speech.
ESL-3 ( Academic) is for mature high school students/graduates (18 years of age or older) who have not yet achieved the language requirements for admission to college/university, or those who seek to further prepare for the challenging transition to the post-secondary level studies. This course is designed to develop students’ proficiency in the use of various rhetorical models, critical thinking skills, reading and vocabulary-building strategies, and effective listening, note-taking, and speaking techniques for academic purposes.
