English Language Student Audrey's Testimonial

Living in residence with a roommate can be really beneficial for you because it’s possible for you to make a new friend and it helps you practice English. With your roommate, you can have a lot of enjoyable moments, or you can cook together and you can help each other with homework.

Audrey (Quebec) English Language Program

In the fall of 2011, I was part of the TESOL program at the Castlegar campus at Selkirk College. I am proud to say that I am now able to teach English as a second Language. My student teaching experience during the program is one of the most satisfying academic projects I have ever done in my post-secondary education. I enjoyed very much interacting with students from the English Language Program while teaching the World Literature class.
