Education and Training Programs
English and French as a Second Language

English as a Second Language (ESL) and French as a Second Language (FSL) programs at colleges and institutes offer full-time and part-time instruction to students whose first language is not English or French. In most cases, the length of time students spend in English or French language training is not pre-determined and students continue until their goals are reached. ESL and FSL classes emphasize language skills which will help students function in Canadian society and achieve their personal educational and work related goals.

English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and French for Academic Purposes (FAP) programs and courses are most appropriate for intermediate and advanced ESL and FSL students. These programs and courses are designed to help ESL and FSL students increase their English or French language skills so they can meet their academic goals for entry into career/technical, university transfer or degree programs at Canadian post-secondary institutions. These programs develop English or French speaking, listening, reading and writing skills to the level needed to succeed in post-secondary education in Canada.

The ESL/FSL and EAP/FAP programs offered at colleges and institutes differ from one province to another. It is recommended that potential students consult the individual websites of the 71 colleges and institutes that offer these types of programs.
