About CEAL

The Council for English as an Additional Language (CEAL) acts as an advocate on behalf of students learning English as a Second Language and seeks to constantly improve and promote the teaching of English as a Second Language.

ESL programs help students learn English while also learning about Canadian cultural values, customs and social expectations. The goal of ESL programs is to provide students with planned systematic instruction and support that will enable them to speak the English language fluently, further their education and become productive and contributing members of Albertan and Canadian society.
