Part-Time Language Instruction English Language Foundations


English Language Foundations offers a variety of part-time continuing education courses to help students improve on pronunciation as well as become proficient in the fundamentals (reading, writing, listening and speaking) found in the SAIT full-time language program.
These part-time courses are designed to be taken independently or as supplemental instruction to the SAIT full-time language instruction program.
