How does International Gateway Kelowna use Off2Class?

IGK uses Off2class  as the main part of all of their morning classes which focus on core skills: listening, speaking, reading, writing and grammar. As a result, mixing Off2Class’ interactive digital lesson content with other course materials provides a healthy variety of materials to IGK’s students. Many of these students are in intensive ESL programs where variety is critical to maintaining energy and motivation levels!
