Located in beautiful Vancouver, BC, Canada, Langara College provides University Studies, Career Studies, and Continuing Studies programs and courses to more than 21,000 students annually.

Langara’s ESL programming uses an integrated approach to language learning. Rather than teach skills in isolation we use a holistic methodology, combining speaking, listening, reading, and writing, and focusing on a variety of relevant and interesting topics. Using a content-based curriculum, we engage students in activities that require the use of a variety of strategies to encourage authentic communication. This creates a dynamic, student-centred learning environment in which students acquire language in a natural and meaningful way. Gradually, students learn to approach classroom content the same way as Canadian students whose first language is English.

There are nine levels of ESL training, from beginner to advanced. Each seven-week session contains 20 hours of classroom instruction per week. Students can expect approximately two to four hours of homework per day. Classes are scheduled Monday to Friday, from 8:30am to 4:30pm.
