About us

Welcome to the English Language Centre

At Ontario Tech University's English Language Centre (ELC), we welcome students from around the world to improve their English prior to beginning academic studies at our university and our partner institution.

Apply now. Our next session starts on Monday, January 6.

Students in Canada must attend the three on-campus class days (Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays). Students outside Canada will join us remotely (via Zoom) those days.

As part of this hybrid model, it is mandatory that students have an Internet-connected computer that has a webcam, a microphone, and headphones/speaker. During class, students must have their camera and microphone turned on. We need to hear and see you, and you need to hear and see us.
