Classes are structured around the format of theTOEFLiBT speaking section. Many of the practice tasks are designed by our instructors.

Templates for answering questions are provided to beginner students who are becoming familiar with the speaking section's tasks. An extensive list of useful vocabulary is provided for each task. Beginners focus on creating a solid foundation of vocabulary; advanced students focus on expanding their vocabulary to include colourful and detailed phrases.

Students find themselves in a comfortable, stress-free enviornment in which they are encouraged to communicate as much as possible. Fluent English speakers provide a model for correct pronuncitation and use of idioms.

Once a week, the speaking class includes practice on the integrated writing section.

OurTOEFLiBT programs are structured around the format of theTOEFLiBT reading tasks. We use a variety of materials, including passages of superior quality developed in-house. 

We focus on expanding students' background knowledge so that they are familiar and comfortable with a wide range of topics, including the Sciences, Social Sciences, Business and the Arts.

Reading classes are an excellent opportunity to encounter new vocabulary in context. By narrowing down the words to their roots, and simultaneously opening up the concepts into clusters of synonyms, students have a deeper understanding of what they are reading. We also draw attention to sentence structures that students can use in their own writing.

Not only do we provide students with thousands of sample essays onTOEFLwriting topics, we apply our unique methods in exploring diverse topics.

Through classes, students learn general templates which they can then apply to their written work.

Essays are revised one-on-one and in groups, and each student goes on to his or her next essay knowing exactly what he or she must accomplish next in order to improve.

Students become experts at choosing appropriate words, using interesting sentence structures, and organising their thoughts.

FELC first won trust from its students with this program five years ago and since then has been known inVancouverfor its qualityESLprograms.
