: About the ESL Program |
|
|
Founded in 1980, International Programs on the campus of the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), offers high-quality, practical English instruction which empowers its students to more effectively communicate as well develop cross-cultural awareness.

During the fall, winter, and spring quarters, ELP students meet with American college students or community members as conversation partners to discuss and share cultural experiences. ELP students have full access to the all of UCSB's learning and recreational facilities including computer laboratories with high-speed Internet and e-mail access, the full-scale Davidson Library with over 2.2 million volumes, and the UCSB Recreation Center with swimming pools, basketball, tennis, and beach volleyball courts, as well as fitness equipment and gymnasiums.

| School arranges homestay and on-campus dormitory/apartment for its students. Students who choose the homestay option will live together with carefully selected host families, with whom they will have plentiful opportunities to interact in English while directly experiencing the American culture. Students living in on-campus dormitories will be close to classes, campus activities, and other students - both American and international. It is best to arrange housing as early as possible due to the limited amount of space available. For more information use the Contact Address to ask the school directly. |
