Language Training
English language classes help newcomers to Canada improve listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in English. Eligible newcomers learn from qualified English language teachers in face-to-face and online classes.
Suncrest College offers a variety of English language classes in many locations within the Suncrest region. Students learn English through LINC (Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada) classes, Conversation Circles, or tutoring. Instruction is available face-to-face, online and through hybrid delivery (a combination of face-to-face and online).
Potential students are given an English language assessment to find out their current skill level in English. This helps Suncrest College place students in the class that best fits a student’s ability.
English language classes at Suncrest College are funded by: Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada and the Government of Saskatchewan.
