What Is Drop-In ESL?
The Drop-In ESL program is taught by volunteers and helps adult immigrants improve their English skills by exploring weekly themes and practical subjects which are directly related to daily living and employability skills. Aimed at helping Drop-in ESL participants adapt and integrate smoothly into Canadian society, three different levels of classes are offered: pre-basic, basic, and intermediate/advanced. This program is ideal for those who have to fit classes around family needs or work schedules or those who are not eligible for LINC (such as Canadian citizens).
