IS THE MELL COURSE A GOOD FIT FOR ME?

MELL is for those who have taken a beginner English class somewhere else OR you can understand most short sentences or common questions on everyday topics. (eg. Where is the bank?  What do you do for work? What is your phone number?)

You will be expected to have the following basic level of comprehension:

  • Can talk 1-on-1 or in small groups, with a bit of help
  • Know your English letters and sounds
  • Can read short stories or texts with key vocabulary help and discussion 
  • Write grammatically correct simple sentences, with some errors.
  • Are at an Advanced Beginner (CLB 3-4) or Low Intermediate Level (CLB 5-6)
