Our Mission

What We Do
English Online believes that high quality English language learning materials and instructional support should be easily accessible to learners, teachers, and institutions, whenever and wherever they may be. Using an open access technology-based platform, we facilitate learning, connect people to the latest online learning content, and assist organizations highlight their services for new immigrants to Manitoba.
Our strategic advantage is our on-demand access to learning resources for those bound by geographical or time constraints. Through our online materials, we also supplement teacher-led classroom learning to help speed-up learning and retention.
As a not-for-profit organization, we strictly adhere to approved standards and best practices established in the settlement community to ensure a consistent, measurable approach to online learning content, development, and delivery.
For Manitoban newcomers
We provide reliable information on 12 settlement themes to ease their transition in their new home. Articles provide the latest information, contain relevant links to essential community resources, and are crafted to motivate and provide inspiration.
We also offer flexible and personalized learning options online that fit the availability and learning styles of newcomers to Manitoba. Using Web 2.0 tools, we deliver courses and activities designed for Self-Directed Learning. Depending on learner preference, newcomers can learn with a group, by themselves, one-on-one, or peer-to-peer.

We highlight services provided by other settlement service organizations on our website. We also provide our effective and innovative materials by sharing our expertise and resources openly online.
