Teaching and Learning Approach
Instructors in the English Language Program use a communicative approach to teaching and learning. Lessons
often include inter-active discussions, group work and reflection activities. Learner success in ELP courses is
often demonstrated in tests & quizzes, presentations, assignments and active participation. Assessments include
self and peer evaluations. The responsibility for learning is shared between the instructor and the student to
foster independent learning skills.Learning Resources
