The English Language Centre uses student and teacher feedback to constantly evaluate and improve the quality of its courses and teaching. One course is usually singled out for special attention each semester, with focus groups providing added feedback for course reviews.

End-of-Course Evaluations

Students are asked to complete an online evaluation form at the end of every course. The forms have boxes to be filled in and room for comments about the course and the teacher.

Students are not required to put their names or student ID numbers on the forms.

Students’ comments and suggestions on the evaluation forms, in person and by email are taken into account when courses are revised and when teachers’ contracts come up for renewal.

Teachers also use student comments to improve their teaching. ELC teachers are generally highly rated by students.

ELC Course Committee

The ELC Course Committee has one staff and one student member nominated by each faculty, school, the Community College and the Division of Building Science and Technology.

Students or staff who wish to make their views known without contacting the ELC directly can ask their representatives to speak for them.
