EFL for Japanese adults?

Post by erimaken » Mon Jun 06, 2005 10:16 am

Hi, I'm looking for a short-term (2 weeks) EFL program for Japanese mature (middle-age) adults.
The ideal program would provide morning classes and have afternoons off for extra-curricular activities. I am not looking for English for academic purposes, just for fun and a chance to speak in real life situations. Do you know of any schools in Texas or the Midwest that offer such a thing. Thank you for any information.

Sorry, it is not Texas but Ottawa's Carleton University has a great program of the type you specify and also the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. These are both in Canada.

Link-UP International

Post by gdejardin » Sun Feb 05, 2006 5:47 am

Hi,

I saw your information on eslcafe and wanted to share a new program called Link-UP International available to high school and college-age students. Thanks for considering...below is the copy of a recent post of mine on eslcafe. Also, I will be in Japan sharing this program in person with students and teachers between Feb 16-24. Please let me know if you're interested in connecting or learning more.

Teachers and Students,

Beginning this summer (July 30-August 19) is a new program for ESL students aged 17-25 worldwide who wish to gain an intensive English language experience (40 plus hours of instruction), as well as an initial introduction to the American culture. The ideal Link-UP student is someone who wishes to one day study in the U.S., but would appreciate a transition experience that would give them a taste of what it's like to study here.

The 2006 program will take place on the campus on Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, WA. Students will visit Seattle/Tacoma cultural landmarks such as Mt. Rainier, Pike Place Market, Microsoft, Safeco Field for a Mariners Game, various museums, as well as several colleges and Universities such as the University of Washington.

Link-UP is an authentic program with a personal touch. Link-UP students will be receive unlimited free tutoring from American college tutors who will serve as staff assistants in the program. It is important that Link-UP students are motivated to learn and embrace this engaging program.

For questions or to request and application, please email [email protected]

Thanks,
Greg DeJardin
