At OHLA we offer General English, Academic English and Exam Preparation Programs.
Our core ESL program covers fluency and comprehension: listening, word structure, word usage, reading, vocabulary, writing and speaking.
OHLA uses a skills-based curriculum, focused specifically on developing necessary linguistic skills in six major areas: reading, writing, listening, speaking, vocabulary and grammar. We know the best way to develop these new linguistic skills is the same way we all learned our native languages, “organically”. Languages are not meant to be memorized, but rather these skills must be practiced and used on a daily basis to master the language.
As an addition to the core program, we offer a vast array of complementary courses to meet the needs of the students. Examples of some of the many electives offered are strategic reading, mastering English sounds, applying grammar rules, clarity and confidence, English in the workplace, oral fluency and more.

To further propel a conducive learning environment, OHLA offers 8 ESL levels. Students sit for a Placement Exam on their first day of class to evaluate their current linguistic skills. Students are then placed in the appropriate English level. Pre-arrival online testing can be organized upon request.
Each level lasts 10 weeks and is subdivided in six 2-week-units called “blocks”. Students may commence their language studies at the beginning of any two-week block (every second Monday).
The blocks are designed to be as self-contained and noncumulative as possible, resulting in a progression of skill development, which will maximize the learning experience.
