Elementary and Secondary ESL programs within BC

A detailed answer on where one lives would be helpful in finding out how important proficiency in english has been to immigrants lives. For example, someone who speaks only Punjabi living in a certain part of Surrey could likely live and work without must difficulty, and the same goes for many groups in different areas. Asking something along the lines of "what is the dominant language in your community" may help explain a person's reason for why a person did or did not take advantage of ESL services. Of course, we would need to produce the survey in one or two other languages in order to get a response from people who don't speak english (as was suggested previously). Not taking advantage of such services may not have been an issue of not knowing about it or being resistant to integrating, for many it may have simply been unneccessary as they can get along fine without it.
