CCI-LEX - LEX Classes for immigrants
English as an additional/second language for permanent residents (new Canadian citizens, landed immigrants, refugees and refugee claimants)
Funding for these programs is provided by Alberta Employment and Immigration.
Instruction for our General ESL classes includes reading, writing, speaking, listening and grammar. LEX classes are taught by volunteer teachers who receive ongoing support and training in instructing ESL. The Learning Exchange offers part-time classes and continuous enrollment, which allows students to begin their course without long periods of waiting, provided there is class space available.
