IMPROVE YOUR ACADEMIC SKILLScore classes: monday to friday
The core classes focus on academic skills and language to prepare for entering a Canadian college or university.
The class focuses on how to digest and interpret academic texts and lectures, including note-taking and building academic vocabulary.
LISTENINGListen to academic lectures to understand key information and language. Learn note-taking methods.
READINGRead excerpts from authentic textbooks. Learn to predict content, identify key features of the text, and respond critically to the topic and ideas. Learn note-taking methods.
CRITICAL THINKING Discuss and evaluate academic topics. You will also evaluate your own work and that of others, making judgments about the value of information and drawing conclusions from data.
VOCABULARY Look at key aspects of academic vocabulary and cover useful vocabulary learning strategies.
Students produce four academic pieces, two speakingand two writing projects per 5-week period.
PRESENTATION SKILLS Pull information together in a logical order, create clear visual aids and use appropriately, speaking clearly and with confidence, knowing your audience and pitching a presentation at the appropriate level.
DISCUSSIONS Participate in and lead academic discussions and seminars. Learn communication strategies for maintaining an academic conversation, eliciting and providing ideas based on research and personal opinions.
ACADEMIC WRITINGProduce academic reports and essays worthy of a Canadian college or university. Understand the scope of and plan the assignment, research and assess sources, organize your thoughts, write the assignment, proofing and assessing your work, using feedback to improve.
RESEARCH SKILLS Understanding the remit of the research, finding materials and sources, managing your time and your resources, presenting your results.
16
Meet twice a week to hone your study skills. These include an array of skills which tackle the process of organizing and taking in new information, retaining information, and working on or dealing with group or individual assignments. The class will study methods to aid the retention of information; time management; planning assignments; concentration techniques; and efficient note taking while gathering external data or research.
MINI LESSONStart: Reading, audio or video input; teacher instruction and vocabulary input.
Connection: activating students’ prior knowledge.
Teaching: presentation of the actual skill or topic.
Active engagement: giving students time for supported practice of the skill.
Link: helping students figure out how the topic pertains to their individual written piece.
STATUS UPDATE5 to 10 minutes: The teachers evaluate how the students are progressing.
Status Update is a quick check-in to find out where your students are in the writing process — pre-writing, drafting, revising, editing, evaluating, or publishing.
WRITING20 to 45 minutes: Students work individually.
The majority of the writing workshop is devoted to simply giving students time to write. During this time, teachers can confer with individual students, observe and help.
SHARING10 to 15 minutes: Students can share their work and become more comfortable speaking English in public.
It can be tempting to skip this last element of the writing workshop, but don’t! It can be the most valuable part of the class, other than the writing time itself. As students grow comfortable sharing, they are willing to take more risks and dive deeper into the process. Students tend to get great ideas here as they are most influenced by one another.
EXAMPLES OF ADDITIONAL WORKSHOPSIf you choose the 30 lessons Pathways course, you can take 6 lessons per week of additional workshops.
Here are some examples of the workshops we offer:
ENGLISH FOR WORKLearn the language of business. Develop your business English and ability to interact with international colleagues and clients.
GLOBAL AWARENESSDevelop your understanding of different cultures, and how communication varies between them.
EXAM SKILLSFocus on improving the skills you need for taking standardized exams such TOEFL, TOEIC and IELTS.
