NIKA
Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada, Instructor
For me, the most rewarding thing about teaching is seeing my learners progress. When you are a student it is difficult to pinpoint your progress, but as a teacher you mark every small improvement your students make and it makes me smile.
DANILO
Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada, Instructor
In my classroom, I strive to create a safe and inclusive environment where students can feel respected and heard. Everyone is more than welcome to share their experiences and their progress in their new language and new country. I believe the LINC program is more than just language instruction; it is a bridge between the language and the practical skills students need to navigate their new lives in Canada.
SABARNI
Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada, Instructor
One aspect of teaching LINC that I find incredibly rewarding is watching my learners' personalities blossom in a second language as they go along their language learning journey.
Their progress isn’t just in English grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary—I see friendships forming, students supporting each other, jokes being shared, and their laughter filling the room.
