This program consists of six levels in a comprehensive academic English Second Language (ESL) program ranging from Beginner to Pre-university. At the higher levels, the program combines ESL study with academic courses allowing students to gradually make the transition from ESL to academic programs. This gradual transition increases the student's opportunity for success by providing ESL support as required. It also allows students to custom-design an ESL program to meet their individual needs. The Regular ESL Program is offered in the Winter, Spring and Fall Semesters.

 

Students with limited time who wish to improve their English can register in our continuous-entry English Holiday Immersion Program. Students may begin this English program on the first or third Monday of any month (except December) and may register in the program for three or five days per week for up to three months. English classes are three hours per day and offer the option of additional hours of study in our monitored, multimedia ESL computer laboratory. Classes are multi-level and multi-skill with a small number of students (10 or fewer). Optional tours, sports, recreational, and cultural activities are available in the community and through UCFV. This is the perfect English language holiday for anyone wishing to experience the culture and lifestyle of Canada in a university setting.
