1 YMCA Coordinated Language Assessment and Referral Services Issue # 16 November Tel: Kitchener Hours Monday, Wednesday, Thursday: 8:30am 4:30pm Tuesday: 8:30am 8:30pm Friday: 8:30am 12:00pm Cambridge Hours Monday: 8:30am 4:30pm Thursday: 12:30pm 8:30pm The months of September and October are busy ones at the Assessment Centre. Many clients come and see us seeking to start a new semester of English language classes, such as those offered by ESL and LINC programs. In the middle of October, one of our assessors had the pleasure of meeting a woman who was in the CLARS Centre accompanying her new, young daughter-in-law to her English assessment. The assessment is used to determine which Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) our clients have achieved in the areas of Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing. Benchmarks range from Literacy (pre-1) to 10. The daughter-in-law wanted an assessment and referral to language training options in the community that were best suited to her proficiency level. Hajar Soltani, the woman who accompanied her daughter-in-law, shared her own impressive story with the assessor. Hajar continues to be a student in a Level 7 ESL class. She and her children came to Canada 10 years ago as refugees from Afghanistan. She started an English language program as a LINC Literacy student. She has now completed her Grade 12 math credit and she wants to continue on to college training. This remarkable, positive woman is now a Canadian citizen, as are her five children. One of her sons is successfully self-employed in Calgary. A second son is employed locally with an IT company. A son and daughter are attending Conestoga College. Her youngest daughter is finishing high school this year. Hajar was only too happy to share her successes and enthusiastically start her daughter-in-law on her own path to English language acquisition. She is proud to be a Canadian and she inspires those around her to feel the same. We are so pleased to help people as they begin this journey.

Transportation assistance is provided to eligible clients. Fall Registration began on Tuesday, August 27 June 26, 2014 (ongoing).

Life is such an unpredictable thing that nobody knows where he/she can be tomorrow. This is what happened to me. My name is Eleonora Rud. I am from Ukraine. I could never imagine that one day life s circumstances would bring me to Canada. This big and amazing country with varieties of cultures causes a lot of confusion for me. I will never forget my first day when I came to St. Louis. It was a rainy day on February 14, Everything was so new that I got lost and went to the wrong campus. It was scary to speak with anyone, so I just escaped to my apartment. Also, I thought I would never go back out ever again. I knew English a little bit because I listened to a lot of English music and memorized words and grammar from it. However, I had no idea that it was not proper language. In LINC class I learned many really interesting things about Canada. My first teacher was Karen, and her class helped me to survive in Canada, as well as to find my place here. She covers topics that are an essential part in starting a new life in this country. Moreover, I became better in English grammar that caused me a lot of misunderstanding before. LINC class was a strong foundation in order to get high school credits that I have recently finished with a high score. In addition, I was able to apply for college by myself and be accepted to the program that I want. I feel more comfortable in everything that I am doing now than I did two years ago. LINC made my life fulfilled. I became an independent person with high self-esteem, which is important for successful life in Canada. Finally, I realized that this country is my home now. Newcomers are very lucky to have a LINC program with the best teachers in it. I am very grateful that my Canadian journey began in St. Louis. *Please see the following for St Louis s very own LINC Success Story.
