About Us
OUR STORY
Language Links is an expert language provider, specializing in English courses in Toronto and online. We offer high-quality courses and training to meet your needs and exceed your expectations.
​
Working with international students since 2002
​
Starting with just a few private students, Language Links began providing a quality program that cared about the progress of each and every student. Regardless of a student’s age or their profession, each student received the necessary attention and coaching to succeed in communicating in the foreign language, English.
​
Many years later, Language Links continues to offer language learning to students in a vibrant communal setting that embodies the multicultural warmth of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Language Links and its reputation has grown thanks to our numerous success stories. Our students range from children to professionals who want to communicate in English with confidence.
​
The strength of our institution lies in its ability to accommodate the needs of various students coming from all over the world.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
We believe that Language Links us all. We have combined our love of language, people, and teaching to help others reach their goals, seek more opportunities, and pursue an enhanced quality of life.
OUR MISSION
At Language Links we pride ourselves on the connections we foster with students both in and out of the classroom.
Our students are the priority, and our curriculum design proves it.
​
The small class size not only gives every student the ability to maximize their speaking time in the classroom, but also allows them individual one-on-one time with the teacher. Lessons and activities are structured towards empowering our students with the knowledge necessary to communicate confidently in English in everyday contexts and situations.
Our goal is to help our students develop the necessary proficiency they need to be able to communicate with any English speaker they may encounter. We believe that language is the link that unites people and promotes global citizenship. We strive to offer a program that addresses real-world applications of a foreign language rather than generic lessons from a textbook.
OUR METHODOLOGY
Personalize your program
With 20 years of experience teaching languages around the world, we understand that everyone learns differently. Our program is tailored to your learning style, learning level, and personal motivation. Our 360° assessment test will evaluate your current language skills in 45 - 60 minutes. This will include testing your reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills, plus pronunciation, grammar application, and vocabulary usage.
​
Depending on your study format, the placement test can take place online or on-campus.
Communicative Language Teaching
Our methods are supported by the latest research in language learning. Students will be actively involved and will get many opportunities to practice English. We adapt our teaching methods to different learning styles to help you achieve your goals. Our methodology ensures that lessons are highly practical, enjoyable and fully involve the students who engage in meaningful tasks that reflect the demands of real-world situations.
​
Student-Centered Approach
It is essential that students enjoy learning and take responsibility to direct their own language learning journey. To support this, on-going feedback and reflection are central to our programs. Lessons are participatory and student-centred which means that the teachers facilitate learning and support participants as they discover the structure and use of English.
Cultural Immersion
Researchers have shown that the far-reaching benefits of learning a language through cultural immersion include superior academic education, cognitive skill development, career opportunities, social interactions and cultural understanding. Our students will interact with Canadian culture and communicate with other English language speakers. Through continuous exposure to the language and by regularly interacting with the community, our students will put their lives into perspective and become more compassionate individuals - in other words, global citizens.
