MAGMA - Multicultural Association Of The Greater Moncton Area

LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION FOR NEWCOMERS TO CANADA (LINC)

MAGMA offers full time English as a Second Language classes (Literacy, Level 1, 2, and 3) to immigrants and refugees. The language-training program is designed to help clients develop listening, speaking, reading, writing, and grammar skills. We also offer French as a Second Language classes. Moreover, MAGMA offers tutoring services in both official languages for clients living outside of the Greater Moncton Area.

Before language training is provided, clients' language abilities are assessed using the Canadian Language Benchmarks Assessment. After completing this assessment, clients are referred to an appropriate class. School-aged children are not accepted, as they will be admitted to a public school.

Our students are from different countries and of different cultures. Therefore, the classes also offer them an opportunity to exchange experiences, practice languages, socialize and make friends. Furthermore, our program offers occasional field trips to promote a better integration into the community. Field trips also offer supervised opportunities to practice communication skills. In addition, childminding services for pre-schoolers are provided on premises during class hours.
