The course content was fantastic and the material very informative. Technology was used extensively in the

classroom which motivated the students to learn and participate. This program was an eye-opener for me and I

can say with confidence that I have acquired lots of new skills to teach English.

I chose ILSC’s University Pathway Program to prepare

me to get into a Canadian university. The University

Pathway advisors helped me to identify and correct

my difficulties in English, and I found this program

also really improved my writing skills, something

that is difficult for foreigners because English has its

own unique writing structure. Because of the skills I

learned in the University Pathway Program, I feel very

prepared to start my studies in Political Science at the

University of Prince Edward Island.
