Pathway Structure

In the Pre-Pathways levels, students are integrated into regular ESL classes where they will learn and practice the foundations of English. Focus will be placed on the development of skills in grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

In Pathway I, students will build on the foundations of English skills, and shift more towards developing the skills which are essential for university bound students.

In the final level – Pathway II students will shift towards English for Academic Purposes. They will work on refining the skills that they learned in the earlier levels; however, the focus will move to those skills that will be necessary for life as a university student. In Pathway II, students will attend workshops that focus on note-taking techniques, summarizing lectures and building and developing research and presentation techniques.

Attending one of our partner universities will give you the chance to truly experience the life of a typical Canadian or American university student.

University life in Canada and the US is as dynamic and interesting as you want it to be. After your classes, you can take full advantage of the diverse extra-curricular activities the schools have to offer. This could include joining a social club based on your interests or enjoying the fantastic facilities found on-campus, such as a gym or swimming pool. As we have a large number of partner institutions to choose from, you can also take full advantage of life outside the school in the environment that you feel most comfortable in. This may involve touring the city of your choice, relaxing in a small town or exploring the nature on your doorstep. There will also be plenty of opportunities to use your English abilities in the real world, allowing you to continue to improve your English language skills in authentic situations.
