This year, CIC celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC) Program, and its French equivalent Évaluation Cours de Langue pour les Immigrants au Canada (CLIC). These programs support newcomers in developing language skills that will enable them to better function in all aspects of Canadian society.
CIC continues to innovate in the field of language training, and the recent introduction of Tutela.ca is a good example. Tutela.ca is a national online library of teaching materials, research papers and more. It is also a place where settlement language training instructors across Canada can connect with other English as a Second Language (ESL) and French as a Second Language (FSL) professionals, share materials and discover new approaches. Users benefit from discussion forums, events listings, job/opportunity postings and more. Tutela already has an active community of over 1300 users.
Visit tutela.ca to find out more.
