Are online English classes effective?

Yes, when they include live instruction and speaking practice rather than just self-paced videos. Programs with real-time conversation and role play tend to build confidence and fluency faster than app-based learning alone.

What's the difference between online English lessons and an online English course?

Lessons usually refer to individual or informal sessions, while a course is a structured program with set levels, a schedule, and defined outcomes over several weeks. Global Village's Online English Program is structured as a full course rather than standalone lessons.

Do online English classes work for beginners?

Yes, as long as the program offers multiple levels. Global Village's program offers three levels of instruction, from beginner to advanced, so you're placed at the right starting point.

How much do online English classes cost?

Global Village's Online English Program is $120 per week, or $1,440 for the full 12 weeks. A limited-time introductory offer takes $20 off per week, for a total savings of $240.

Are online English classes as good as in-person classes?

For building speaking confidence and vocabulary, a well-run online class with live instructors and interactive activities can be just as effective as in-person. Global Village's classes include speaking activities and conversation practice in every session, not just lecture-style teaching.

Who can join the Online English Program?

Anyone 16 years or older, with no minimum English level required and no restriction based on where you live or immigration status.

When does the program start and how long does it run?

September 8 to November 28, a 12-week course with 12 hours of class per week: Tuesday to Thursday evenings, plus Saturday mornings.

Is this program only for Fort McMurray residents?

No. It was created in response to demand in Fort McMurray, with a local representative supporting learners there directly, but it's open to anyone across Canada and internationally since it's fully online.
