One English Language Program Teaches Both Language And Culture
Foreign-born students in the English language program at the University of Toronto’s School of Continuing Studies are learning a lot more than just English in their classes, they’re learning to live and contribute to Toronto culture as well. The 40-year-old U of T English language program has been offered in its current form since 1968,making it one of the oldest providers of English as a second language (ESL) instruction in North America. The program has trained engineers from Korea, doctors from Thailand and teachers from Latin America, Asia, the Middle East, eastern Europe and Russia. A new addition to the program called the Volunteer Club is giving ELP students who come from more than 60 different countries a first-hand look at Canadian culture by engaging them in volunteer work experiences that allow them to practise what they learn.
