The Y Language Assessment and Resource Centre (LARC) The Centre is a centralized screening, assessment, referral and resource centre for LINC-eligible clients in Ottawa. Since 1993 the Centre has served over 20,000 newcomers to Canada. At the Centre, we provide language assessment services for newcomers to determine the existing level of language proficiency to refer clients to LINC training sites in the Ottawa area. At the Centre certified Language Assessors administer the standardized Canadian Language Benchmarks Assessment (CLBA), the Canadian Language Benchmarks Literacy Assessment (CLBLA), Canadian Language Benchmarks Placement Test (CLBPT) and the Entrevue d' Évaluation Cours de langue pours les immigrants au Canada (É-CLIC). Following assessment, language benchmarks are assigned and clients are referred to LINC programs. In addition, an Information & Referral Counselor is available to assist newcomers with diverse settlement needs by redirecting them to available services. |
