Sociocultural Program

Your ELI experience goes beyond the classroom!

What takes place in the classroom is just the beginning of the learning experience at ELI. Our Sociocultural Program, staffed by our Cultural Assistants, who are UBC students, is one of the special features that make the ELI an exceptional place to learn English. Join your classmates in games, tournaments and other daily lunch activities. Take part in Friday workshops and discover UBC campus and local places of interest, connect with nature and go hiking, or relax at the ELI with the Cultural Assistants. Explore BC on a weekend day trip to Victoria, Whistler, Squamish and beyond provided by our partners.

Choose your experience and connect with the student side of life at UBC!
