English as a Second Language (ESL) Training

You will find many places that offer classes in English as a Second Language (ESL). ESL classes are available for adults who need to learn English or who require extra help to improve their language abilities. ESL can be an important step in your education or professional advancement, as many university programs and employers require basic proficiency in English.

Many universities and colleges offer ESL courses for newcomers or people wishing to improve their English-language skills. ESL is also taught by private schools that specialize in language training, such as the International Language Institute and East Coast School of Languages. These schools can be found throughout Nova Scotia, but are especially common in larger population centres. You can also find ESL tutors who provide one-on-one language training and support.
