Established in 1942, the Queen's University School of English
specializes in English for Academic Purposes in a total-immersion
setting. It is an intensive course of study offering between 20
and 25 hours each week of academic classroom instruction.
Students attend a weekly workshop focusing on a non-academic area of English and are also expected to participate in the numerous activities designed to improve their English skills. Enrichment courses are also offered in a wide range of areas including Native Canadian Studies, Film Studies, Canadian History, and the Internet.
To assure a climate of total immersion, all students sign a
formal pledge promising to speak only English at all times for
the entire time they are enrolled in the program.
Housing
Students have a choice of living in a private room in the
university residence or with a homestay family. Both of these
options are available year-round.
The Staff
All of the core instructors in the School of English have
advanced university training in Teaching English as a Second
Language or related fields. Many of the school's instructors have
worked in this program for more than ten years.
The program also has English-speaking university students who act
as counsellors in the university residences, organize the
activities, and direct the discussion classes.
The school has a Homestay Coordinator, an Academic Counsellor and an Activity Coordinator.
