The English Department delivers courses to students in the majority of post-secondary programs at Centennial College.
The English courses support students in their program areas by developing their communications skills which are

help to: develop reading comprehension skills; improve grammar and editing skills; develop and enhance sentence,
paragraph, essay, memo, letter, informal and formal report, and proposal writing skills; develop and practice listening,
speaking and presentation skills and assist students in becoming self-directed learners through enhancing their
communication skills. Through the Centre for Academic English, the department supports our students through its
group workshops, one on one tutoring and oral communication sessions.
