Kingston Literacy & Skills LINC classes run year-round. We offer small classes from Basic (CLB literacy) to Pre-Intermediate (CLB 4) levels. The instructors are all highly qualified, experienced and TESL Ontario certified.

​

In addition to classroom learning, our LINC program offers the following free of charge:

​

​

Before you join a class, your current skill levels are assessed in four areas: listening, speaking, reading and writing. This ensures a proper match between your language proficiency and the appropriate LINC class level.

​

Assessments are conducted using the Canadian Language Benchmark standards and take place at 263 Weller Avenue or at the Calvin Park Library at 88 Wright Crescent, Kingston.

​

We can make an appointment for your assessment when you drop in, or you can make your own appointment, by phoning (613)453-8144 or sending an e-mail to: knoble@languageassessment.ca
