Simon Fraser University English Language and Culture Program - English language school in Vancouver, Canada |
1 - Language School Overview :
The ELC approach is unique in that we focus on developing your ability to read contextual clues and decipher Canadian attitudes and values. This will enable you to continue learning independently outside the classroom. Whether you participate in our 12-week, 8-week, or the Specific Interests programs, you will recognize the benefits of this approach. These benefits continue long after you finish your studies at ELC. Talk to our alumni. They will tell you how ELC prepared them for university study, how it helped them to understand what people were saying, and how it gave them more confidence to use the language.
Studying English at ELC is to participate in experiential, intensely interactive learning. At the same time, it is an opportunity to study English in a university setting, to learn about the education system in Canada, and to gain first-hand exposure to Canadian culture.
