English and Canadian Culture from Abroad (ECCA)

This 3-week program helps students improve their English language communication skills. Students will gain confidence speaking and listening in English while learning about Canadian and Quebecois culture as well as exploring and discovering the wonderful city of Montreal.Because this is a multi-level program, students will take an online placement test before the course begins. Conducted entirely on Zoom, students will participate in daily language classes and a weekly pronunciation workshop with experienced McGill instructors. Self-paced learning activities will engage students further with the language learned in class. There is also plenty of time to make new friends with McGill students as conversation partners. To meet people in the Montreal community, students will be matched with a local host family and see how a typical Canadian family lives.
