What makes our ESLEO Level 5 course UNIQUE? Why do our students like the course? Why are our students successful?
Issue: All universities in North America require all students to successfully complete a Grade 12 Academic high school course before applying to their institution. North American and English speaking universities require international students – students not attending an English speaking high school – to successfully complete the TOEFL or IELTS exam for admissions. Solution: Our ESLEO course will prepare students for Grade 12 Academic English and the TOEFL/IELTS exam. Ontario eSchool’s ESLEO course will determine a students’ future because it prepares them for entry into any North American university or English speaking university in the world. Therefore, taking the time to prepare for the TOEFL/IELTS exam or Grade 12 English course will be worth their efforts. OeS ESLEO Course: The ESLEO course provides students with all they need to get ready for the actual TOEFL/IELTS exam and grade 12 high school academic English. The course focuses on academic material that is found in first year university programs. Students will be practicing various skills such as, reading comprehension, listening to various academic sources, speaking and writing academic essays. All Units provide lessons explaining various strategies students need to succeed on the TOEFL/IELTS exam, such as scanning, skimming, paraphrasing, and note taking. Students will be provided at the end of the course with a practice test that replicates the actual TOEFL or IELTS exams. Furthermore, students will be immersed into North American university life even before entering a university, because they will be listening to academic lectures and conversations by professors, TAs, students, administrative staff, and other university staff members. Reasons for Student success! Students will be working with a live online Canadian teacher. All our teachers are Ontario Certified (OCT) in English and have experience and training in TOEFL/IELTS instruction. Students enjoy the fact that our courses have no more than 3 students in the room and that they quickly build confidence in this environment with no peer pressure that would happen in a regular classroom with many students all competing for the teacher’s attention. Because our courses are online, students can work in the comfort and safety of their homes and schedule their classes and work at their convenience.
