Algonquin's Language Institute Is A Bridge To Success

In an increasingly international world, language skills are truly tools of tomorrow.

A postsecondary education helps you acquire life-long skills, enhancing your opportunities in professional and personal pursuits. The Language Institute at Algonquin College was established to enable students of all ages to attain goals, offering programs that are developed in response to real-world needs.

Everyday Communications Methods
“We are the bridge to students’ goals,” says Silvia Garcia, chair of the Language Institute. “Maybe you are looking at English as a second language training program in order to be accepted into a college or university program, or French as a second language training program.”

In the global village that is our world today, learning another language opens door to new opportunities. Whether it’s getting a better job, improving everyday communications skills, or learning to teach a language, the Institute helps students develop critical skills.

“Perhaps you are considering courses in Italian, German, Portuguese or Spanish for work, pleasure or travel,” says Garcia. “Whether your goal is getting a better job, improving your everyday communication methods, or learning to teach a language, we will help you develop the skills you need for the life you want.”

Flexible Learning Options
Technology continues to redefine communications, giving us new tools and better, more interactive ways to help you learn. The Language Institute offers the most powerful and innovative tools available, perfect for building that bridge to your goals.

For instance, the Institute’s ongoing commitment to technology underlays the success of the Multimedia Language Centre (MMLC). The MMLC helps you practice your language skills with the aid of language-learning computer programs — focussing on specific skills, such as editing, writing, grammar, listening and pronunciation.

Tools of Tomorrow
In an increasingly international world, give yourself every advantage: language skills are truly tools of tomorrow.
