English as a Second Language

The Official Languages and Bilingualism Institute (OLBI) offers several programs in English as a second language tailored to your needs and skill level: a basic minor, an advanced minor and a major.

Our programs are designed to sharpen and broaden your skills in your second language. Courses focus on the four basic types of communication (reading, writing, listening and speaking) and on more specialized areas, such as grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and culture.

You perfect your English through an array of activities that use all sorts of instructional materials. You also have access to both high-tech and traditional learning tools: multimedia materials and labs, a resource centre, video, Internet activities and conversation groups are all at your disposal.

These programs are for non-Anglophone students only.
