Why Study English in Edmonton

Learn English for Work: There are thousands of opportunities to expand your career on a global scale in an international city like Edmonton. With a 30% increase in exports in 2017, the wealth of the Alberta region is attracting business from all over the world. To operate effectively in Edmonton, most companies require their employees to speak English fluently, so studying the language grants you full access to the rich potential of Canada’s “Oil Capital.” Some businesses who are always looking for candidates to add to their teams are Tigercat International, Streamflow Industries, HSBC and Scotiabank. Taking English classes in Edmonton with Language Trainers allows you to be a part of this global economy and pursue a better paid or more exciting job!

Learn English for Culture & Social: Learning English will also help you feel like a local and allow you opportunities to socialize and get to know Edmonton’s culture. With family events, like K-Days and the Edmonton International Film Festival, the city has plenty to offer newcomers and locals alike. After you take some English lessons, you can also take a city bus tour to get to know Edmonton on a whole new level. The knowledgeable driver will give you a mix of history, current goings-on and a view of the natural beauty of the city and the surrounding area. And if you would like to keep on improving the skills you learn with us at Language Trainers, you can join the Polyglot Social Club, a meet-up group that aims to bring together people who like to chat, play games and hang out in a relaxed atmosphere.

Learn English for Studies: What English can offer, however, goes further than business or culture. If you would like to pursue higher education in Edmonton, then you must have a good command of the English language. Institutions such as the Concordia University of Edmonton and the University of Alberta require their international students to speak the language fluently, as all of their programs are taught and examined in English. To show proof of proficiency, you have to pass an officially recognized international exam. For example, you would need at least a total score of 90, with a minimum score of 21 points in each section, for TOEFL; at least 6.5 for the IELTS, with no band less than 5.5; etc. As you may know already, these exams are quite challenging, so we highly recommend doing all you can to prepare and practise beforehand.
