About ESL at Memorial
Memorial University in St. John's is an excellent place to study English.
St. John's, situated on the Atlantic Ocean, is the capital of
the Canadian province Newfoundland and Labrador. One of the oldest
cities in North America, St. John's is rich in history and culture,
and well-known for its friendliness and beautiful, safe
environment.
Memorial offers a 12-week (plus one week of placement testing and orientation) Intensive English Program three times per year and a 5-week English Language Summer School each July. In addition, English for Special Purposes and custom-designed courses are offered for groups.
Students in the 12-week Intensive English Program (English for
Academic Purposes) may apply for provisional admission to
Memorial's degree programs. Students who are provisionally admitted
to Memorial may make their admissions final by successfully
completing the Intensive English Program and passing the test of
English language proficiency given at the end of the
program.
Class sizes are small (no more than 18), allowing for a great deal of interaction, and are taught by highly-qualified instructors. ESL students may use all of the university facilities, which include an excellent university library, student centre, computer facilities and a multimedia language lab.
