Canada Institute of Linguistics

Langley, BC

Discover language and culture at the Canada Institute of Linguistics (CanIL).

Through studies in linguistics, you'll discover the rich diversity of world languages and cultures, and how you can get involved in taking God's Word to the nations!

Specializing in Bible translation, research in endangered languages, literacy development and TESL, CanIL provides linguistic and related cross-cultural training for certificate and degree programs through Trinity Western University (where CanIL is the linguistics department) and ACTS seminaries - both in Langley, B.C.

We offer a streamlined training package for linguistic and cross-cultural work, which can be completed in just 10 months in our well-equipped Harvest Centre.

You'll learn how to recognize and pronounce global speech sounds. You'll be able to develop alphabets, compile dictionaries and describe grammars, as you unlock systems of meaning in language. Training at CanIL opens the door to effective cross-cultural relationships.

CanIL's diverse family of students and staff offer the supportive learning environment of small-sized classes within a major university setting. Your language skills will develop as you interact with linguist-professors who are active in field work around the world. CanIL is an excellent launching point for your work in the global community.
