Queen's University School of English
Kingston, ON
Company Overview
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.
Sessions 12-week: January-April, May-August, September-December 5-week: May-June, July-August

We receive many students primarily from Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China, Canada (French Canadians from Quebec), Mexico, and Mauritania. There is an increasing number coming from South America (Brazil, Venezuela), the Middle East (Turkey, Iran) and Western Europe (France, Spain).
Virtually all of our students are success stories. The ESL program we offer is so intensive and in an immersion environment that students gain fluency while they attend. The proficiency students gain in this course, especially in writing and speaking, is beneficial in any profession.
