This program is designed to provide specific language training appropriate for English as a second language speakers who intend to proceed to post-secondary study. Successful completion of the program means that a student has a sufficient level of English language proficiency to successfully undertake studies at English speaking colleges or universities. The program provides five levels of study. Courses at each level focus on reading, grammar, writing, speaking and listening skills.
Students are required to take an English placement test (EPT) to determine appropriate placement. An EPT is given several times a year; contact the Assessment Centre for dates – (250) 828-5470.
Students for whom English is not their first language are required to take appropriate CESL courses (excepting those who satisfy prerequisites for Engl 110).
CESL is available in Kamloops only.
