Does learning English and getting to know Canadian culture first-hand excite you? Are you planning to attend a Canadian university in the future?If you answered yes to either of these questions our Language and Culture Online Program is for you!

Participating in our online Intercultural Communications Workshops, you will develop a greater appreciation for cultural differences and similarities while learning some great strategies for cross-cultural communication.

During Language Studies, you will improve your overall English proficiency with an extra emphasis on speaking and listening skills. At TRU, we know that no two students are the same, so we have developed specific electives, designed to give each student the opportunity for growth while learning English, making friends online and having fun!

HOW IT WORKSThis is a 3-week online paced program and you are expected to daily attend each virtual class. Once you’re enrolled, you will be emailed full details and further instructions of your online classroom experience.

ENGLISH STUDIES: Student-centered, communicative lessons designed to enhance each of the core skills (speaking, listening, reading, writing) while providing students with insights into life in Canada.

CANADIAN CULTURE: Content-based instruction is provided as you virtually explore geography, regional foods, popular music, and more.

INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION SKILLS: Having a solid understanding of the basics of intercultural communication theory will serve you well as you pursue your academic and professional goals. Engaging in online activities will make learning fun.

ELECTIVES: Options include Global Citizenship, Healthy Choices, Leadership Skills, and STEM skills. Note that the list may vary depending on enrollment.

ONE-TO-ONE SEMINARS: An added bonus of our online format is One-to-One Seminars where you can have two 15-minute sessions with an instructor. Individualized instruction, pronunciation tutorials, Q&A sessions, and conversation topics are some of the possibilities.

VIRTUAL ACTIVITIES: These sessions are sure to be a program highlight and may include an exercise class, cooking demonstrations, dance lessons, trivia contests, breakout box challenges (similar to an escape room), international student panels, and more.
