The CALI winter program provides a well-rounded education in English that equips you with the skills, knowledge and cultural exposure to thrive in academic and real-world settings.

CALI focuses on practicing English through participation. During this four-week program, you’ll be immersed in an English-speaking environment in Canada’s capital city. Through language training by our highly-qualified instructors, you’ll boost your confidence, allowing you to articulate your thoughts, engage in debates and express yourself fluently in English. You’ll be able to interact inside and outside the classroom with other individuals from all over the world. By the end of the program, you’ll be a confident English communicator, ready to succeed in the globalized world. We’ll give you the tools to leap into any conversation in English!

You’ll experience English in the real world and use it to:

· Learn about Canadians, people of other nationalities and their cultures.

· Expand your vocabulary, improve your grammar and enhance your understanding of English expressions used in academic and real-world settings.

· Communicate outside the classroom with both native and non-native English speakers, using the right vocabulary and grammar.
