Global Village is a great English Learning Centre housed in a heritage building in the heart of…read moredowntown Calgary. They offer a variety of programs - from basic English language skills to programs specifically tailored to English proficiency examinations. As well, they are a fine institution for prospective ESL teachers to learn their craft. I should know because, I received my ESL accreditation there. I found the instruction I received to be professional and comprehensive - and fun for that matter. An added feature at Global Village are the free courses conducted by student teachers available to those in the community who perhaps lack the means to study full-time but still wish to enhance their English skills. That, in my opinion is a classic "win-win" scenario. And, for that reason, I'd have to say that if you want to enhance your English comprehension, then get down to Global Village.

I recommend people forget this place for IELTS exam.
