English is the language of instruction across TAIE's programs. The English Learning Centre offers five ESL levels (ESLAO - Level 1, ESLBO - Level 2, ESLCO - Level 3, ESLDO - Level 4, ESLEO - Level 5) with a placement test to determine each student's level. ESL courses are designed to build on prior education and English knowledge, and the program is approved by the Ontario Ministry of Education to provide essential English language skills for everyday and academic purposes.
Immersive English learning is provided as part of the English Learning Centre. Students are placed into a total English learning environment woven into the curriculum to continuously practice English inside and outside the classroom. English for Academic Purposes (EAP) courses follow the ESL levels after progression.
