The workshop will be held on Wednesday, June 13th from 17:30 to 19:00 at the Real Institute, More information about the workshop is below.

Calling all ESL teachers in the GTA! We have another workshop coming up on May 13th followed by a networking party. Email [email protected] if you are interested in attending either or both.

Our next workshop will be something new and different. Beyond the Word presents a new way of teaching reading and listening comprehension. This approach is based on a series of experiments with students whose comprehension of texts was hindered by their limited ability to process language. The workshop will present a a group of universal activities designed to help learners deal more effectively with word and sentence level grammar in order to promote better understanding of... reading and listening texts. The workshop will be held on June 8th from 5:30 to 7:00 at English Central. More information about the workshop is below.
