Last Month in Calgary

The March Activity Calendar started off with a bang: a trip to Banff!  With a van full of students, we drove straight to Lake Louise.  Fortunately, the weather was good so we were able to take some nice pictures, which included the ice sculptures and the lake itself. Next, we drove to Banff where some students demanded “Beaver Tails”!! The pastry (not the real thing) could be seen all over student’s faces.

Next, the students insisted on going to the top of Sulphur Mountain by gondola, even though they saw on live webcam that the top was mainly cloudy. The students appeared to enjoy the gondola ride up the windy slopes. Finally, we took the Banff Springs Hotel tour where Dave Moberg showed us the important rooms of the hotel, along with interesting stories about many celebrities who had visited.  The trip was a great success.Calgary Students

Over the past few years, more and more students have been interested in advancing their career prospects by going to colleges and universities after they improve their English with GEOS.
We recently started a new session of our intermediate level IELTS elective course. The advanced IELTS elective class has been running all year and so it’s great for us to be able to offer it to intermediate level students now. For a challenging full-time option, the TOEFL iBT class is probably the best available in Ottawa. It’s hard work but really effective.

Intensive English – 24 academic hours –
Communicative Method of language teaching that is second to none! GEOS is the only private school in Ottawa to operate 6 levels of ESL year-round. Our morning course, called Integrated Skills (IS) allows students to develop their ability in all four skills of English (reading, writing, listening and speaking). Our afternoon program is called Active Listening (AL) and focuses on improving the practical communication skills of listening and speaking.

Super Intensive – 31 academic hours –
Many of our students choose to enhance their studies with an extra elective class (7 hours per week). Our current elective classes are:
Levels 1 & 2 – Grammar Works (Beginner)
Levels 3 & 4 – Grammar Works (Intermediate) or IELTS Preparation (Intermediate)
Levels 5 & 6 – IELTS Preparation (Advanced)

TOEFL iBT Preparation Program (Advanced) – 24 academic hours
GEOS Ottawa is the perfect choice for the more serious student who is thinking about applying for university in Canada. Our very popular TOEFL iBT program prepares students in all aspects of the test to significantly increase their chances of passing.

Private Instruction / Closed groups
In addition to our regular scheduled group classes we also offer private and small group lessons in English and French with flexible schedules and class content to suit the needs of the student.
