Lifelong learning experience at LINC Home Study program

Lifelong Learning Experience

One day, I heard someone tell me about the study of the English Language. So I asked this person for information on how to be able to study in the program. I came across the interview and I took the language assessment at Open Door. The problem was a conflict of time with my work. I can't go to school. The facilitator explained to me LINC (Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada) Home Study program.

At first, I was not confident because I have to use a computer. I didn’t have enough knowledge of the computer. The only thing I knew was how to surf the web, including Facebook, Google and email. LINC Home Study program has given me a lot of experience. As a novice, I'm confident that I can communicate and write well because of I’ve learned back home. It came as a surprise to me to learn of the errors of sentences and paragraphs. Did I forget what I learned from school? It came to back to mind.

Luckily, I have a good instructor. He told me to be confident. There are rules and regulations to follow. I had a tough time and sometimes, I feel ashamed of myself. My instructor keeps on reminding me not to feel that way. I've learned the proper way to correct run-on sentences and comma splices. Those are serious errors. They should be fixed immediately. Every lesson I have assignments for the following week. Sometimes, in the middle of a conversation, we come across phrases which are unfamiliar. Mostly, we talk about them and explain the meaning of the phrases.

I'm happy and proud that one of my blogs was published in the NewsLINC. All that I've learned at the LINC Home Study program can be an important aspect in my daily living. There's a lot way to go. Now, I'm on Level 5.
