This mixed skill class is ideal for students who simply want to become more comfortable and confident speaking English. This course provides students with a wide variety of ways to engage with the language using activities ranging from explicit grammar and vocabulary instruction to spontaneous interaction and conversation. Learners receive direct feedback on their speaking and writing as well as multiple opportunities for practice and skill-building. 

A strong grasp of English helps new Canadian immigrants navigate the world around them, making everything from accessing resources to meeting new friends much less intimidating. Many who don’t speak English fluently face a number of obstacles in Canada such as preparing for career changes, learning about Canadian college or simply trying to keep up with their children’s progress in English. Here at ASA, we offer the English for English Program for Immigrants in Canada (EPIC) that is tailor-made for new immigrants who may be considering career changes or simply looking to improve their English as they adapt to the Canadian lifestyle. While many standard ESL programs assume a foundation in English abilities, EPIC recognizes that not all English students have an expansive background in formal English education. We focus on building foundational and intermediate skills by providing students with functional tasks and skills to address weaknesses in their use of everyday English.
