Multilingual Orientation Service Association for Immigrant Communities

English Language Centre

MOSAIC Language Centre is located at #301-2730 Commercial Drive, one block south of the Broadway Skytrain Station. MOSAIC is one of approximately 40 schools that offers English Language Services for Adults (ESLA), which is a basic settlement English language course for adult newcomers to Canada. We teach English to help newcomers talk to schoolteachers, store clerks, doctors, etc. We teach about Canada’s political system, laws, healthcare system, and many other things newcomers need to know. The program is funded by the government, and is free for eligible newcomers.
MOSAIC has designed our program to provide full and part-time classes, delivered in the morning, afternoon and evening. Our well qualified, experienced instructors use curriculum guidelines to meet the needs of each individual class. Our learners have access to all of MOSAIC’s services, which are developed to meet the needs of newcomers to Canada.
MOSAIC has a licensed child care centre to care for the children (0-5 year’s of age) of our students. We have developed an early childhood program that will help the children learn about Canada, meet new friends and develop their English language skills. Our Early Childhood Educators are certified and multi-lingual. Our program is designed to work with children who do not speak English, and who do not share a common language. Parents learn valuable information about the health, school and child care systems in Canada.

Landed Immigrants and refugees already accepted can take ELSA. You must be 17 or older. Canadian Citizens and refugee claimants can not take ELSA.
