With three levels of Academic English as a Second Language courses, our Foundation Program is designed to help you to improve your English proficiency while also taking a limited number of additional credit(s) at the University.

English as Second Language for Academic Purposes (ESLA) courses are comprehensive and target both the language skills (reading, writing, listening, and speaking) and the research and study skills that you need in order to be successful in an English language university.

For Undergraduate and Special students admitted with an English as a Second Language Requirement (ESLR), successful completion of ESLA courses (also referred to as the Foundation Program) satisfies this requirement.

For professionals and personal interest students: The primary emphasis is on real-life communication in English, developed through a wide range of activities and experiences. There is a balance among the four language skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing, with a particular focus on spoken language throughout the program.

For university preparation/English for academic purposes: For those who are studying in preparation for regular university study, the program prepares you for entry to Carleton’s Foundation Program – ESLA (see details:https://carleton.ca/slals/credit-esl/) . The Intensive program curriculum is linked to the ESLA curriculum, and a semester or two of Intensive Program study should enable you to reach the entrance standard for ESLA, which enables you to begin taking university credits.

Welcome to our Credit ESLA page. With three levels of Academic English as a Second Language courses, our Foundation Program is designed to help you to improve your English proficiency while also taking a limited number of additional credit(s) at the University.
