Eng l i s h a s a S e c o n d L a n guage

My time in Canada was very well spent. Canada quickly became a second home where I met many great people that I will never forget. Teachers at KGIC became like big brothers and sisters who not only taught me English but also were a huge influence in my development as a woman. I will leave this place with a sense of pride that I not only learned English, but crossed boarders; not only physically but mentally and emotionally as well.

Class Levels English Elite English Advanced English Essentials

Flexible Level Structure

KGIC ADVANTAGES A. Class Levels At KGIC, we have classes to suit all language levels from beginner to advanced. Regular and accurate testing is done in each class to ensure that you are in the appropriate level. When you have achieved a specific set of goals, you are moved up to the next class.

B. Flexible Level Structure

KGIC also has a distinct level structure, unlike most ESL schools in Canada. It allows you to be in different levels at the same time according to your ability in each class. You are tested and evaluated separately for grammar, reading, writing, listening and communications and put in the appropriate class â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from Foundations (Beginner) to Level 6 (Elite). Your class schedule is specifically customized to match your capability. For example, if you are stronger at speaking you will be in a higher Communications class; if your listening skills exceed your writing skills, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be in a higher Listening class. You can focus on developing each of your skills according to your exact ability, instead of being in one class based on your overall ability.

Activities / Services I have just finished my first week at KGIC and living in Vancouver. It’s amazing how much I have learned not only from my teachers and in my classes, but from attending the cool after school activities. There are so many interesting options every week. Let’s see…what did I do? At the beginning of the week I travelled to the top of Harbour Lookout, which is 430ft above Vancouver. The view was beautiful! I took a picture with my many new friends at the top. Can you believe that all seven people in the picture are from different countries?
