Spring Break Immersion Program

Posted By Crisdelis Rodriguez On October 23, 2015 @ 12:58 pm

As of March 16, 2020, all York University English Language Institute programs will be delivered 100% online. Our English Language Institute has launched and delivered many quality online programs over the years. This is not new to us, and there will be no interruptions or compromise in learning quality for those considering starting their studies with us. For any enquiries or questions about our programs please contact yueli@yorku.ca [1].

Spend your Spring Break enjoying the delights of the Canadian winter and improving your English language skills.

 

The Spring Break Immersion Program is an exciting experience that will help you develop your listening and speaking skills in English from any level as well as learn with students from around the world. Over the course of the program, you will experience one of Canada’s largest and most multicultural university campuses and the social and cultural lie of a Canadian winter. You also will participate in activities with Community Leaders, allowing you to build your skills.

Practice your English while learning about all that Toronto has to offer

Our highly qualified teachers will guide you through your English classes and provide plenty of opportunities to practice.

During your program you will get to know about life in Toronto, Toronto Raptors, Toronto’s ethnic neighborhoods, CN Tower, Niagara Falls and more.

Our ‘Community Leaders’, current York undergraduate students, lead many of the cultural events and will also introduce you to some of the 300+ clubs on campus. There’s always plenty to do at York!
