It is my high privilege and the most rewarding experience to be the Chairman of CLLC,
and associated with international language education – one of the greatest peacemakers in human history.
Understanding languages and cultures helps resolve the fear and uncertainty that characterizes so many human conflicts on our planet. Those who work in international language education maintain a professional optimism and insight around globalization, and therefore, to the prospects for peace and unity.
COVID-19 is an excellent example of a global challenge that united the demands of researchers, policymakers, and governments to address multiple social, cultural and financial dimensions that go far beyond the implications of the current pandemic. It is sure that cultural and
language awareness will continue to play an integral role in this vital global process.
These days, it is unnecessary to travel the world to learn a new language, as online programs have come to the forefront. However, as the world opens up again, travellers may feel their Google translator app isn’t adequate while travelling overseas. This is why I continue to feel that in-person language learning will play an important role in the life of international students.
Understanding the fear and anxiety from parents who send their children abroad, or hearing from mature students who are seeking English language professional development, have all helped me to understand that people are the most important thing in the world.
I feel honoured to be part of CLLC, a school that has played a positive role in the life of 20,000 students who have trusted us to positively impact their lives since 2004. I am proud that 98% of our students successfully achieved their academic goals.
Learning responsibility, independence, cultural awareness, and new core values are often the additional benefits of traveling and studying at one of our campuses in Halifax, Ottawa, or Toronto.
Our C.O.R.E. strategy, which creates a sense of belonging for every single student, was established to enhance the CLLC way of achieving its slogan: Inspiring Lives. One Student at a Time.
At CLLC, we believe that education equals success. Success that’s measured not only in assignments and test scores, but in students feeling valued, respected, and cared for as human beings.
Our CLLC4U Philosophy™, based on 4 C.O.R.E. Values, creates the foundation for what we do and how we do it – From the very first contact, to the student’s arrival, to their graduation, we strive to provide the best academic experience possible.
This experience isn’t just about travelling overseas to learn English, but it’s an opportunity to grow culturally, emotionally and socially. It nurtures ethics and integrity in a supportive and caring environment.
CLLC’s C.O.R.E. Values are a fundamental part of this process and are interwoven throughout the student’s time with us.
I wish all CLLC students the best of luck in their educational journey and look forward to building a better world together.
