Need For ESL Training In Alberta Canada Is On The Rise
Alberta’s population is growing at a rapid rate. The population rose by 3.1 per cent to approximately 3,474,000 from July 2006 to July 2007. Much of that growth has come from people immigrating to the province.Some reports say as many as 23,000 people immigrated to Alberta and most of that population will be looking for work in skilled or unskilled labour positions. They will need to fill out tenant agreements, driver’s exams, banking information and so on.
But many of these people cannot read or write English.On top of this, many immigrants are illiterate in their mother tongue, as well. Moreover, 71 per cent of Rocky View School Division’s English as a second language students are Canadian born. To rectify this, Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) Canada certifies organizations to teach people how to teach English to speakers of other languages.
