Lethbridge College’s English Language Centre has been teaching English to students from around the world, as well as to newcomers to Canada, for almost 50 years. Our mission is to provide you with the opportunity to excel in English, while experiencing Canadian academic cultural expectations and immersing yourself in North American life. You can study year-round, on a part-time or full-time basis and enroll throughout the semester. You will learn in a friendly and welcoming environment where you can better achieve your educational, career, and/or personal goals. 

English language classes are offered for 20 hours per week. The average class size is 16 students. We offer all levels, from Beginner to Advanced. All classes focus on reading, writing, speaking, listening, and grammar. You will learn English that relates to everyday communication and English that is specific to Canadian Academic Culture. You will also have the opportunity to participate in activities, filed trips, speakers’ mornings, use a computer lab, and receive academic and career counseling to help you achieve your goals. You will receive a Recognition of Achievement credential upon completion of your ESL course.
