Description
We really believe in the advantage of studying in small groups. Unlike many institutions which advertise “small” groups, our groups really are small! We have as few as 2 students in some cases and our average group size is 5 (and maximum 8). In a small group, students get more attention and our teachers can be more responsive to their needs. As a student, you have more opportunity to talk and interact with the teacher and your classmates. Observes ESL Teacher Randy, “it is easier for students to gain confidence in using the language when they don’t have to speak in front of a large group”. Moreover, everyone “gets to know each other well and becomes very comfortable expressing their ideas in English.”Course

Onze docenten hanteren een communicatieve benadering van lesgeven, waarbij het belang van taalgebruik in praktijksituaties wordt benadrukt. Door deze aanpak kunnen studenten praktische taalvaardigheden verwerven en vertrouwen opbouwen in hun vermogen om effectief in het Engels te communiceren. Daarnaast bieden wij uitstapjes en excursies aan naar lokale bezienswaardigheden, zoals Toronto en Niagara Falls. Over het algemeen is English Encounters een uitstekende keuze voor iedereen die zijn Engelse vaardigheden wil verbeteren en wil slagen in een Engelssprekende omgeving.
Ontdek Engels leren in Canada
Onze school, opgericht in 1996 door Lesley Bogue, is gestaag gegroeid. In 2009 werden we onderdeel van het Sprachenzentrum Wöhler e.K., een gerespecteerde Duitse taalschool. In 2010 hebben we de naam English Encounters veranderd, zijn we verhuisd naar het centrum van Burlington en hebben we accreditatie verkregen van Languages Canada en Quality English. We zijn ook een aangewezen leerinstelling, gecertificeerd door de Canadese overheid.
Onze missie is helder en duidelijk: het bieden van eersteklas Engelse lessen, waardoor iedereen met vertrouwen vloeiend kan spreken en zijn of haar taaldoelen kan bereiken.

Beoordeling en certificaten
Wanneer je voor het eerst aankomt, doe je een test om je Engelse niveau te bepalen. Dit helpt je docent om speciaal voor jou een persoonlijk studieplan op te stellen. Wanneer u uw cursus met succes voltooit, ontvangt u een certificaat en een voortgangsrapport om uw prestaties te vieren.

Burlington, een stad met 166.000 inwoners, is een prachtige plek om te verblijven en Engels te studeren. Het is gelegen in het zuiden van Ontario aan de noordkust van Lake Ontario tussen Toronto en Hamilton. Het is een veilige stad met een hoge levensstandaard.
Wij hebben een klein en vriendelijk ogende campus op loopafstand van het meer, het park, de boulevard, het strand, een groot winkelcentrum, restaurants en pubs. Ook het bus- en treinstation is vlakbij hier kan je de trein pakken en ben je in minder dan een uur in Toronto of bij de Niagara Falls.
Volgens MoneySense, een toonaangevend lifestyle- en investeringsmagazine, is de stad Burlington de beste stad om te wonen in de regio Greater Toronto en de tweede beste in Canada! U kunt het volledige artikel lezen op de MoneySense-website.
First of all in my opinion, the location of this school was perfect . The school is located downtown in a small city called Burlington on the shore of Lake Ontario. It was really nice to cycle every day to school.
The school has 5 classes and I had the opportunity to take lessons with 4 different teachers. We were a maximum of 9 students per class. The teachers are really serious in their work but also in their friendships. They create a pleasant atmosphere in the classroom and give students confidence. My schedule was from 9.00 am to 2.10 pm everyday except on Friday from 9.00 am to 1.00 pm.
We had homework everyday. This helps you learn. We followed a textbook with articles very interesting. We had time to talk each morning about what we had done the afternoon before.
We also had the opportunity to socialize with different students outside of school. In my case, I went to a pub, then watched an outdoor movie and I went to a salsa dance party.
The only thing that I noticed negatively was the difference of level between the students. Some of them were in a lower level and I was surprised to have them in the same class as me. I guess their level were too high for the other classes.
Regarding my hosting, I was really lucky to meet Julie. Julie lives alone and we are around the same age, so our relationship was easy and friendly. She took good care of me. Over the week-ends, I went with her and another student kayaking in a lake.
I went to a BBQ one day to her friends house and another day to visit Niagara on Lake and Niagara Falls.
my english learning experience is really good, i really enjoyed learning to speak english at this school. they are super welcoming and very nice, the lessons are very easy to understand and, they use all means to make us understand the lessons and help us to talk. i am really happy to have attended this school really thank you.

It helped to improve my English. The teacher is a very respectful person. The place is cozy and the location is not bad. However, I really think that the fees don't suit the hours of the course. I found it a little expensive.

I enjoyed my stay in Burlington. I like English Encounters very much. The teachers were very cool and easy-going. If you had some questions, the teacher always helped you and explained everything. The sizes of the classes were very good I think (up to 8 people).
Burlington is a very nice city, where you can feel very safe. There are a lot of activities to do in your free time. You can visit the Niagara Falls, visit Toronto, the Hamilton Falls, a lot of Outlet Stores, or just stay in Burlington at the Lake Ontario and much more.
