About the MITT English Language Institute

The English Language Institute (ELI) provides international students looking to develop English language proficiency skills with a welcoming, friendly, and supportive learning environment in a Canadian post-secondary setting. Experienced staff are there to guide students through their studies and help them move confidently into the next phase of their academic journey.

ELI delivers the English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program, which allows international students to achieve the English language proficiency requirements needed for post-secondary admission to MITT.

All courses include a range of opportunities to enhance language learning through the ELI Experience Zone.

English Language Institute (ELI) programming updates:

Beginning January 2, 2024, three levels of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) will be offered:

  • Intermediate (Level 3)
  • Advanced (Level 4)
  • Advanced Academic (Level 5)

Students who do not place in our Intermediate level can register for entry-level English programming with our trusted local pathway partner, Heartland International English School.

Classes will now only be offered in-person Monday to Thursday at Scurfield Campus and online on Fridays. This structure offers students flexibility and self-directed study time, ensuring the best possible educational experience.

Entrance Requirements, Tuition and Fees

Students who apply for the EAP program without proof of English language proficiency (ELP) must complete an Oxford online placement test and an in-house ELI speaking test.

EAP applicants must obtain a minimum score for placement into Level 3 (Intermediate). Applicants should be mindful of this when applying, as the application fee, which includes the cost of the placement test, is non-refundable.
