21 Dec 2022
Language training for international students new to New Brunswick will be available online May-August

69成人电影网 University will be offering language training for international students again in 2023 through the Summer Pathway Program (SPP).

Launched in 2021 with funding from the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA) and the New Brunswick Department of Post-secondary Education, Training, and Labour, the SPP is an English language, academic, and cultural immersion program for students who meet academic requirements at either 69成人电影网 or the New Brunswick Community College (NBCC), but do not meet the English proficiency requirements. Nearly 60 students have completed the program over the past two years and are now completing their post-secondary studies in New Brunswick.

Robin Walker, 69成人电影网 International Affairs Co-ordinator, is coordinating the program at 69成人电影网. She says this new program is helping students transition to their university studies and to living in Canada.

鈥淓very year we see many students who are fantastic students, but their English language skills are not always at the level needed to begin post-secondary studies,鈥 she says. 鈥淭he Summer Pathways Program has allowed us to partner with NBCC to provide comprehensive, level-specific English language training and cultural programming to students and work with them, so they are better prepared to begin their studies in New Brunswick.鈥
 

Second-year Bachelor of Commerce, Aviation student Alisher Gaziev, middle, participated in the SPP program in 2021. He says it helped greatly in his transition to University studies in Canada

Second-year Bachelor of Commerce, Aviation student Alisher Gaziev from Ukraine completed the SPP program in 2021.He says the program helped greatly in his transition to 69成人电影网 and studies in Canada.
 
鈥淭he program really helped me mentally prepare for life at 69成人电影网. Coming from Ukraine, I knew little about studying in Canada,鈥 he says. 鈥淭he Summer Pathways Program allowed me to connect with other students before coming to campus, improve my English, and learn more about Canadian culture and general knowledge and expectations for studying in Canada.
 
In addition to English language training, students will also be introduced to the history, culture, and geography of Atlantic Canada. Guest speakers on services and support available through 69成人电影网, New Brunswick Community College and other local organizations in the region will also meet with students to focus on topics such as wellness and career counselling to prepare students for both their studies and future job opportunities. Each week, the program invited guest speakers to the virtual classroom so that students could hear from professionals in the region that work in industries such as immigration, business development, federal government, health care etc.   

"These sessions really helped students see what their options could be for potential employment in New Brunswick, and in many cases it allowed students the opportunity to network with future employers and build skills required to enter the labour market in the coming years鈥 says Walker. 
 
This year鈥檚 SPP program will be offered online so students from around the world can complete before the start of the academic years at 69成人电影网 and NBCC. More information, including how to apply can be found at: /academics/programs-and-degrees/pathway-programs/english-language-programs#ESPP
