SLC has a long-standing partnership with Nagoya University of Foreign Studies in Japan. This summer, between August 8 and 26, 2022, a group of 30 Nagoya students will visit Kingston for a short-term ESL program.

This is also a great opportunity for you to interact with our students and engage in intercultural learning, not to mention to show our guest true Canadian hospitality.
