ESL - English as a Second Language

Maple Leaf Academy Ltd. is the first private language institution in the city of Calgary to offer a full time ESL program. We have taught English to over 4000 students from more than 50 countries.

MLA's programs are well designed and are tailored to those students who are beginners in the English language up to more advanced English levels.

MLA offers an intensive ESL program in small class settings (15:1 student to teacher ratio). Our small class settings allow the school to adapt quickly to meet the needs of each student, both individually and educationally.

MLA's programs are unique in the Calgary area because students receive instruction from several teachers who all specialize in a specific area of English language instruction. Classroom instruction concentrates on listening, reading, writing, conversation, grammar, pronunciation, computers, and Canadian living skills.

Multi-media language laboratory instruction is also offered as a program feature, concentrating on listening, pronunciation and communication skills, allowing students to progress at a faster rate in English speaking and listening competency.
