ESL学术课程是一项全日制（每周25小时）课程，专门为需要在进入大学预科课程或大学转学课程之前提高英语水平的学生而设计。ESL学术计划的目的是向学生介绍加拿大的学术研究所需的学术写作和交流基础。
You will be placed at the English level that is right for you before entering a high school or university program. You can take a high school or university-level course at the same time based on your English level. The Columbia College English Language Centre (ELC) is for students wishing to improve their English in an academic setting. Students in the ELC have full access to Student Services and college facilities. Programs are offered part-time or full-time (25 hours a week), and cover core skills such as listening, speaking, reading and writing, plus additional elective courses. Programs start six times per year with a minimum program length of seven weeks. Once you progress beyond English 097, you can begin registering in high school and university-level programs, and advance further into high school and university-level English. Students do not need to submit external language scores, as Columbia College offers its own language tests. Our Language Programs are proudly accredited by Languages Canada.
