Algonquin College and ESL experts, with funding from The Canadian Red Cross, have created a new language-learning delivery model called the Community Language Support Program.

The program is a decentralized, place-based approach to language learning where community members teach English in ways that directly support the individual learner. It is done in the places and spaces they choose to live in and according to their schedule and preference for learning.

The program is a response to traditional challenges inherent in offering English-as-a-Second-Language training to adult newcomers, especially in rural areas. Roadblocks along their language learning journey include transportation, childcare, hours of service, eligibility requirements, funding requirements such as minimum numbers of regularly attending registrants, and so on. These challenges cannot be alleviated by a centralized or singular nature of service delivery-one place, one way and at one time.

Instead, the program effectively and efficiently leaps over these common barriers. No new infrastructure is required and the work is delivered by community allies. These volunteers are supported by a qualified Language Coach who provides access to key supports, resources, suggested tactics and materials to build their capacity to teach.

By combining the good nature of volunteer work to the meaningful purpose for adult newcomers to learn English that is supported by a professional creates a holistic and sustainable community-wide program.

The newcomers are integrated as defined by themselves. The volunteer is empowered to support both as a humanitarian and as a capable ally. Community relationships enhance connections among the people involved, transforming language learning into a vehicle for integration.
