Blending Formal Instruction with Plenty of Fun!

Located in the breathtakingly beautiful Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, Canada, the ESL Okanagan program blends formal instruction with cultural exchange among students from around the world by using a variety of courses and field trips that instruct, promote, and refine ESL instruction. Our students include youth and adults who have different goals in mind but all require the English language, ESL Canada.

• Students bound for international colleges and universities
• College professors requiring knowledge of the English language
• Adults and youth preparing for travel on mission trips
• Students wishing to expand reading, writing, or fluency skills
• People seeking employment where English is required

YWAM ESL Okanagan teaches using both classroom and field trips which promote the learning and practice of English in real world settings. But the true benefits are derived through the Christian based environment coupled with the fun and variety built into the program. When you peruse the pictures of students participating in the program, what is clearly obvious is the fact the program is varied, fun, multicultural, and stimulating.

Blending Classrooms and Field Trips

The campus is situated in an area known for its lush beauty and outdoor life so the ESL program field trips include activities such as hiking, biking and other outdoor events and activities. This area contains everything you could ask for in nature including snow capped mountains, lakes, vineyards, orchards, hiking trails and summer green fields. Field trips also include activities such as museum visits.

If you are interested in learning English as a Second Language, the YWAM ESL program offers much more than just a lot of tedious classroom lectures. Through instruction, field trips, social interaction, and lots of practice throughout the Fall or Spring session, each student will graduate the program with the skills needed for success.

• Reading
• Writing
• Speaking fluency
• Situational language skills
• Critical thinking or problem solving skills

And while you are learning all of these English skills, you will also enjoy the local area and have lots of time to mingle with fellow students from all over the world. There’s no doubt about it…this is how a language should be learned!
