ELL, English courses and humanities

ELL is an umbrella term for an “English as a Second Language” (“ESL”) program which is focused on taking a practical and effective approach to teach English. It offers tried and trusted methods and achieves excellent results for students aiming at high school graduation and beyond to university.

All of CanStar’s courses are designed to enable students, whatever level they’re at, to understand and analyze a variety of writing techniques and become familiar with essay structures and the ways different exams are presented. The courses also encourage critical thinking, teaching students to work out what to write about and formulate their own ideas. 

Furthermore, the ELL program introduces and reinforces essential grammar concepts and demonstrates the usage of high-frequency vocabulary. Our teachers coach students in their writing and editing skills, helping them choose words and structure sentences correctly to attain English level 10 standards faster.

The ability to effectively communicate in English, whether this is by speaking or writing, is critical to achieving academic and life success. 

Being proficient in English is a necessity to secure a coveted place in university and studying the subject(s) of your choice, and then subsequently establishing a career that entails listening, speaking, reading and writing English on a regular basis.

We offer courses that cater to the needs of all students, from the very basic, right the way through to specialized tutoring for more advanced literature reading or public speaking or debate:
