Learning Languages Institute (LLI)

An English language institute (ELIs) or English language centre (ELCs) is a department within a college or university in English-speaking countries that aims to develop students' English language skills for a variety of purposes. In countries like New Zealand, ELCs accounted for one-fifth of the $1.1 billion (NZ) in revenue (2001).

When you come to study in person, you’ll join the LLI family of students. Our students come from around the world to experience Canada and to access world-class education.

One of the best ways to learn a language is to live in a country that speaks that language. At LLI, you learn English by speaking it in class, not just learning words and phrases. Once you leave the classroom, every moment is an opportunity to practice speaking English, from your bus journey to our language school, talking with other students, or buying your lunch in a store.

Canada is a great place to learn English, as it is one of the most friendly English-speaking nations in the world. Canadians come from a wide range of cultural backgrounds, from indigenous First Nation peoples to recent immigrants. It is a beautiful country too, where stunning scenery is just a few kilometres from the centre of modern, bustling cities.

English Language Programs

• English for Academic Purposes (EAP)
• Discipline-specific English language provision, such as Business English, English for the Sciences, English for medical professionals
• General English: learning English for conversation and non-academic purposes
• English language testing services, such as IELTS or TOEFL provision
• Teaching English As an Additional Language training.

To meet the traditional needs of English Language Learners, many ELIs have adopted or partnered with international student services on their campus to provide sociocultural integration, language acquisition, academic and career preparedness, and immigration support.

Many of our LLI students come from countries where it never snows. So it is very exciting to discover just how much fun snow can be! Experience outdoor festivals and magical Christmas events in the snow, or just enjoy how pretty Canada looks in a blanket of pure white.

Within a hour’s drive from our language schools, you can be on snow-capped mountains enjoying breath-taking scenery or learning to ski for the first time. You can enjoy winter sports such as curling and ice hockey, the national sport.

Canada is a BIG country with a rich history, and lots to see, do and explore. Both London and Mississauga (where our schools are located) offer a city full of arts, entertainment, social life and sporting events. From both cities you can visit famous places in Canada such as the city of Toronto, Niagara Falls, the
