English Language Learning

A fourteen to forty two week English programme across multiple levels, covering reading, writing, listening and speaking, grammar and academic study skills, with progression between levels by assessment.

English Language Learning runs from fourteen up to forty two weeks depending on the level you are placed at on arrival, and that variable length makes the total cost impossible to state until you have been assessed. It is the only programme at this university that accepts an applicant with almost no academic English, entering at IELTS 4.0 with no band below 3.5, and progression between levels is by assessment rather than by time served.

English Language Learning is an English language programme at Vancouver Island University, and it is important to understand that English Language Learning is not a degree, diploma or certificate at academic level. Language training does not lead to a Post-Graduation Work Permit in Canada under any circumstances, so English Language Learning only makes sense as preparation attached to a confirmed academic offer. A British Columbia attestation letter is still required with the study permit application for English Language Learning.

Entry to English Language Learning is Grade 12 or Class 12 at 50 percent or above.
