Through the uOttawa English Experience Program, you’ll experience English in the real world and use it to:

• Cultural Exploration: Learn about Canadian culture and other nationalities through creating surveys, making videos, and engaging discussions with classmates.
• Interactive Projects: Produce a play using different language styles, create a travel blog to document your experiences in the program, and make videos comparing cultures from around the world.
• Practical Language Use: Improve your English proficiency by effectively communicating with native speakers and completing everyday communication challenges in the Ottawa community.
• Collaborative Learning: Share ideas and experiences with peers, enhancing your understanding and appreciation of diverse cultures.

Ottawa is one of the safest and most beautiful capital cities in the world. A major centre for the visual and performing arts, it offers a wide variety of urban attractions, while maintaining the atmosphere and charm of a smaller centre, with easy access to spectacular parks and wilderness. Visitors can enjoy many of Canada’s best museums, theatres and music festivals, or bike along the city’s many trails and pathways.

Dates: 

• 4 weeks: July 8 – August 2, 2024
• 3 weeks: August 6 - August 23, 2024

The schedule for the uOttawa English Experience Program is the perfect balance of class work (approximately 21 hours per week) to improve language skills, day trips to discover the Canadian culture, and free time to enjoy the campus and the city. 

The tuition fee must be paid in full by the first day of class. The fees cover the tuition, health insurance and the weekly sociocutural activities.
