Here are some of the good habits you’ll learn at CultureWorks, and how they’ll help you in university too.

1. Intensive ESL Courses Teach You to Practise a Little Bit Each Day

Learning a second language takes a lot of practise. And, like many other subjects, it’s better to study a bit each day rather than in one long cram session before a test!

As an ESL student, you’ll learn how to include regular practise into your daily routine. This is an essential study habit to carry with you to university, where you will have several deadlines, assignments and tests to prepare for throughout each term.

2. You’ll Learn the Benefits of Study Groups & Working with a Partner

A study group or partner can help you stay focused while you prepare for an upcoming test or assignment. You can review material together, quiz each other, and support one another throughout the school year.

Top intensive English programs  like CultureWorks encourage students to collaborate with classmates, build skills together, and learn the benefits of teamwork. Group and partner work is built into our curriculum. When our students move on to university, they understand how to make friends and work well with others.

3. Intensive ESL Courses Help Students Practice Positivity & Self-Confidence

For many students, one of the hardest parts of learning a new language is making mistakes.

You might feel worried about performing well on tests, or getting grammar and vocabulary wrong while speaking in class. Maintaining a positive attitude in the face of challenges is one of the most important study habits you will learn at ESL school in Canada!

This is why intensive ESL courses teach students that making mistakes is okay. In fact, it’s a normal part of learning!

CultureWorks instructors are friendly and supportive. They make sure students know that it’s ok to make mistakes. Only through practice will your English skills improve. Our graduates build self-confidence while studying at CultureWorks, and bring that positive attitude with them to tackle new challenges at university!
