English

I can’t imagine what my life would have been if I had never accessed LINC Home Study. I live on a farm that is a one-hour drive from Winnipeg, yet I am not confident to drive on the highway. Indeed, my husband was recovering after his surgery last spring. I was worried about how to attend the English class in person. Once I participated in the LINC Home Study program and was able to learn English courses at home, it was just like seeing the rainbow after the rainstorm. E-learning is flexible, providing excellent materials to engage my senses. Digital and multimedia resources make my study very effective.

The big challenges for E-learning are self-discipline, perseverance, and lack of real class interaction with teachers. My excellent instructor, Karen, helps me to overcome all of the challenges by setting up one 30-minute face-to-face meeting with me per week through Skype. She is resourceful, sophisticated, and professional and has great patience with me. During the meeting, she assigns and corrects my homework, and she always finds practical and essential sources for me to study, such as taboos of small talk in Canadian culture, transition words for conversation, and so on. I am thirsty for this knowledge. Every week I prepare my presentation and look forward to meeting her and enjoying her class. I appreciate that she instructed and helped me to practice job interviews, and I have built my confidence in any kind of interview.

I am so thankful to have Karen as my instructor. I cherish her guidance, encouragement, and patience. LINC Home Study E-learning is lighting and empowering my life.
