A dynamic course which gives our students just the boost they need to become more confident in their language skills. Our courses place a lot of emphasis on fluency, and our teachers use discussions, debates, games, role plays, as well as authentic learning materials appealing to groups. Classes also revise and build on previously learnt grammar and develop students' vocabulary.
Topics: Grammar, phonology, vocabulary, emphasis on communicative methods of learning, cultural and social topics
The learning journey continues as soon as classes finish! With our comprehensive leisure programme students have the opportunity to really discover their chosen destination. A two-week language course generally includes a big variety of activities plus at least 1 full-day excursion and 2 half-day excursions. Of course, students are also given some free time to socialise in the afternoons and evenings!
Some of the activities included in the Vancouver Leisure Program include sports, sightseeing, museums, shopping tours, hikes, cinema, barbecue, picnic, international student parties and many more activities.
It was the best experience ever! I never imagined to make friends of all over the world like this. The experience was better than expected. The teachers were always nice and kind, the activities were also beautiful and fun (except the trip to lighthouse), and I also learnt a lot more speaking the language with the other people in the school. To me it helped me to improve my skills in English, and my social skills too.
I loved everything else, the memories and friends I made in this summer have such a big place in my heart <3
Students staying at a homestay enjoy total immersion in their chosen language and culture. By staying with locals, students get to discover the customs and idioms of their destination from the word go, sampling authentic local cooking and uncovering how the locals really live.
Learning continues when lessons finish. Our friendly homestays are experienced in hosting international students and play an integral part in their learning experience. Rooms are always shared with other fellow students of the same gender.
Depending on the location, host families may be located outside of the town centre, meaning students get to know parts of their destination which usually remain undiscovered by tourists. Many, but not all homestays offer Wi-Fi Internet. Where unavailable, students can take advantage of internet cafés in the local area.
Please note that we do not book flights for our students. If you are researching airfare costs, we recommend using Kayak.com, a search engine that lets you compare flight options from your home country to バンクーバー based on your budget, schedule and preferences.
