English Language Studies
English language studies (ELS) program
The ELS program includes a range of high intermediate to advanced-level English language courses to improve reading, writing, listening, speaking, vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation.
The EAP program includes a variety of advanced and bridge-level English language courses to prepare students for university-level studies where English is the primary language of instruction.
The University Foundation Program is designed to help students make the transition from EAP studies to university-level studies where English is the primary language of instruction. Students take specific EAP program courses and may take some university-level courses at the same time. The UFP has two levels:
| UFP Level | Core (Required Courses) |
|---|---|
| Level 1 | EAP 070 Reading for Academic Success: University Foundation Level EAP 074 Writing for Academic Success: University Foundation Level |
| Level 2 | EAP 084 Writing for Academic Success: University Bridge Level CSM 104 Integrated Academic Learning Skills |
When you successfully complete the University Foundation Program, you meet the English language requirement for admission into academic programs of study at UFV.
My ESL class was the first time for me to make friends in a new country. I got the chance to practice my English and learn new skills. UFV will be an unforgettable part of my life.
I moved to Abbotsford without any English at all. I became an ESL student at UFV and learned English from the basic level to the academic level. Academic courses gave me the opportunity to work toward my goals.
