Essential English

코스 개요

The Essential English program provides 7 lessons of Project-Based Learning per week in addition to the Semi-Essential English program. These lessons will enable you to practice further the 4 core language skills and to apply what you have learned in the classroom to real-world situations. Project-based learning brings learning to life, connecting you to the world around you and boosting your confidence to interact with local people.

PBL Lesson Highlights
-PBL lessons provide the opportunity to interact with the local community in Toronto and connect to the real world while investigating thought-provoking questions, problems, or challenges by “doing” outside of the classroom.
-Teachers set real-world goals with you and provide guidance while you explore the topic related to their English level in creating your projects.
-Teachers act as facilitators in this student-centred approach, scaffolding and guiding the process.
-The teacher will meet with you, either individually or in groups, twice a week to provide support and guidance with the weekly projects. Meetings will take place in person or online via the CIS metaverse platform.
-You will take an active role in learning by communicating with others via technology and by making choices in obtaining, displaying, and manipulating information, rather than taking a passive role where the information is provided by a teacher or textbook.
