Program Overview |
|
The Center for Intensive Language Education (CILE) at Carleton University
(Carleton) offers specially designed intensive courses to help students develop
the skills necessary to use English for academic, professional and personal
purposes. CILE is a leader in the development of innovative teaching methods and
educational and testing materials for second language learning.
Full-time, intensive ESL courses are available from beginner to advanced levels.
Courses focus on integrated language skills: reading, writing, speaking and
listening. Electives vary and include courses, workshops and seminars on
subjects such as Film & Media Studies, Business and Teaching English as a
Foreign Language (TEFL).
 CILE offers many specialized programs, including a noncredit Diploma in English
Language & Teaching Methods for International Teachers and a Diploma in English
for Business Communication. Custom programs can be designed for groups
year-round.
CILE assists students with accommodation coordination: homestay is available
year-round and on-campus residence is available to ESL students during the
summer months (May – August). CILE also arranges Health Insurance coverage for
the duration of the students' studies at Carleton, as well as organizes social
and recreational activities throughout the term.
Students interested in pursuing University Degree studies will have
opportunities to explore subject areas as diverse as public affairs, journalism,
film studies, engineering, high technology, and international studies and will
be eligible to apply for one of our 65 University Degrees once they complete
CILE's Intensive ESL program and reach the required English level.
