Homestay Services
International students quickly learn the benefits of participating in the Homestay Program while learning English. The program is specially designed for students who speak English as a second or additional language. Students live with a Canadian family, experience Canadian culture, and are able to practice their English beyond the classroom. Host families are carefully selected from the Edmonton community to ensure that they have a genuine interest in having a cross-cultural exchange. Both the host family and the student have a unique learning experience and often develop bonds that last a lifetime.

Testing Services
The English Language School at the University of Alberta administers a number of proficiency assessments and placement tests to international students whose first language is not English. These tests are conducted to give accurate assessments of prospective students’ current language proficiency in English. Test results determine the most appropriate level for student placements in the ELS’s full-time programs (Foundation English and English for Academic Purposes) and part-time programs, as well as confirm students’ proficiency readiness for university admission.
