August Intensive Student Handbook 2011
The University of Winnipeg offers international students a variety of English as an Additional Language (EAL) programs. These programs promote high academic standards as students work to increase their proficiency in English and to further their careers or education. Besides teaching the four main language skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing, these programs also encourage learning through participation in cultural and social events. As well, staff is specifically trained in second language instruction and organize classes that are interesting, practical, and fun.
This month-long program is for students who want a short, intensive language program. Students participate in morning classes from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., Monday to Friday. The level of English in the classes generally ranges from high beginner to advanced intermediate. Classes focus on developing oral communication skills, as well as grammar and vocabulary. In the afternoon from Monday to Thursday, students participate in conversational classes (1:00 p.m. to 2:15 p.m.) and in workshops (2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.).
The classroom component of the program is complemented
with visits to popular Winnipeg events and attractions on Friday afternoons.
Students will also be treated to one evening of entertainment each week. Outings
contribute greatly to improved English proficiency and add to the entire summer
experience.
