EAL and OTHER RESOURCES
ENGLISH LANGUAGE RESOURCES
Still working on mastering the English language? SFU offers many on-campus resources for EAL learners, such as instructional materials available through the Library, English Language and Culture courses, and workshops at the Centre for English Language Learning, Teaching and Research (CELLTR). The SFU Online Learning Community provides resources for EAL students who are searching for a job, including an online course called Job Search Success. Finally, you might consider the Tandem Language Exchange program, which pairs SFU community members who want to learn each other's native language.
