Читать книгу Immigrate to Canada - Nick Noorani - Страница 20

If you came to study at a university or college, English as a second language (ESL) classes may be something you want to consider as well. Even though you’re busy attending classes in your field of study, if your English (or French) isn’t good enough to easily understand the professors or to write clear essays and assignments, your education in Canada could suffer.

Learning the language is one of the most important strategies for success in a new country. Even if you plan on staying in Canada for only short-time studies before returning to your homeland, it is a smart idea to brush up on your language skills.

Check with your university’s continuing education department to see if it offers ESL for adults. If not, check with smaller, public and private colleges. Generally, the free ESL classes available at immigrant settlement agencies are reserved for permanent residents.
