Description
Red River College's Language Training Centre offers several full-time English for specific purposes programs from basic to advanced levels. They are designed to meet the language needs of students who have specific goals for studying, working, and living in Canada.
This program will assist you if you require further language development to work in the field of health care or need to prepare for health care aide training programs. This intermediate level program will help you to communicate effectively in daily, social, and health care situations.
Field trips, guest speakers, informational interviews, and a volunteer work experience component will assist you to gain information about the health care aide field in Manitoba.
Red River College is a participating institution in the HigherEdPoints program. Through this program, students are able to convert Aeroplan® Miles and TD Points into funds to help cover their tuition. Family members and friends can also contribute to a student’s education by converting their loyalty points - anyone can donate their points to an individual student.
Visit the HigherEdPoints website for more information about the program and/or to set up an account to convert your points.
This English for Specific purposes course will focus on language tasks related to the health professions. The tasks will correspond to the four competency areas of Canadian Language Benchmarks Level 8.
During this English for Specific purposes course students will gain knowledge and skills by taking on projects in which they investigate and respond to engaging and complex questions, problems or challenges within contexts related to health professions.
This English for Specific purposes course will focus on planning research, searching for sources, critical thinking about sources, and citation management. It will include how to access library material and avoiding plagiarism. Communication needed for health professions will be the context for the language tasks in the course.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process which documents and compares an individual's prior learning gained from prior education, work and life experiences and personal study to the learning outcomes in College courses/programs. For more information, please visit www.rrc.ca/rpl.
Red River College surveys its graduates on an annual basis to collect data related to the graduates’ employment status, salary, occupation and skill use. In addition, graduates are asked to indicate their level of satisfaction regarding the education they received at Red River College.
Visit www.rrc.ca/numbers/reports/graduate-satisfaction for graduate satisfaction and employment reports.
Many EAL (English as an Additional Language) students have found that the English programs at the Language Training Centre have opened up employment opportunities for them.
Others have gone on to continue their studies in college or university programs. Perhaps the most widespread benefit for EAL students has been their increased ability to communicate effectively in the community.
