LINC 6 is offered to new immigrants and Permanent Residents of Canada. Students study at Canadian Language Benchmark 6 for listening, speaking, reading and writing. The course focuses on the development of language skills for successful participation in community, workplace and school activities. Students gain knowledge about life in Canada and build the confidence to independently access community services and resources. Language skills are developed in a task based and interactive way, making use of ‘real’ life materials and situations, to ensure learning encompasses socio-cultural understandings and is relevant to the lives of the students and situations they may encounter.
Within all topics grammar is embedded and shown in context. LINC classes recognize that learners have diverse needs, and students undergo needs assessment in their classes to determine what the most relevant and meaningful topics are for the group. In addition students will be learning socio-cultural information about their new community. They will develop pragmatic skills that help mitigate communication breakdown and support their language acquisition.
