English for Academic Purposes

Established in 2001, the Vanier College Language School views language as a tool to develop minds, confidence, and life.

We are well known for our reputable English and French non-credit programs, which improve students’ proficiency for career and pre-university studies, work and cultural integration. We also offer Italian, Japanese, Mandarin and Spanish for professional and recreational communication.

To maintain this quality of education, our team of certified teachers has access to resources that integrate either language and academic skills or language and life skills. In addition, we encourage innovative on-the-move learning, which gets students speaking to locals or in everyday contexts.

Our reputation, developed mainly through word-of-mouth, is based on 3 simple principles about learning:

• Make it a positive and challenging experience
• Keep it student-oriented
• Respond to students’ collective and individual needs

These non-credit courses allow locals to acquire or brush up on skills for international exchange and build confidence.
