At OIA, we specialize in helping our students accomplish English Language learning. To this end, we have developed an ESL language course system.
The teaching content is based on a graduated system of levels, from easy to learn, beginning language study to the difficulty of the most advanced of ESL courses. All our courses cover the IELTs and TOEFL content.
Our ESL English courses are based on the syllabuses of Canadian public schools. Non-native English students can acquire English level equivalency to be ready for study in Canadian local high schools.
Our system graduates have accomplished mastery of English listening, speaking, reading, writing, grammar and vocabulary.

ESL Courses Details
- OIA ESL Prep Courses are divided into 5 levels: AO BO, CO, DO, EO
- Each level covers 7 major learning skills: Grammar, Sentence formation, vocabulary, Capitalization/punctuation use; figurative language; sentence structure; paragraph construction; and spelling.
- Each level is divided into 4-6 units and includes 3 stages of testing.
- After-class evaluation and homework: The teacher will evaluate students based on their class performance and homework related to the contents of the class. Students receive quick, detailed feedback that will help them to develop their learned language skills and correct mistakes before they worsen.
- Before entering the ESL course, students need to take the “English Assessment Test” compiled by OIA, according to the ESL education syllabus of the Ontario Ministry of Education, Canada.
- After completing each level, students will receive a certificate of completion of that level issued by OIA
- No matter which level of study is completed, students will be entering OIA high school directly into a higher level of ESL High School English.
- If students successfully complete the ESL EO, they can directly connect to Grade 10 academic English without taking the English accreditation test.
