Discover language and culture at the Canada Institute of Linguistics!

CanIL is the Linguistics Department of Trinity Western University in Langley, B.C. We provide training for Wycliffe Bible Translators of Canada, other missions and individuals interested in language and culture-related careers and ministries.

Specializing in Bible translation, endangered languages, literacy development and TESL, we offer BA and MA degree programs in linguistics – as well as a TESL certificate program.

Through studies in linguistics, you’ll discover the richness of language and culture, and how you can participate in giving God’s word to the nations. You’ll learn how to acquire other languages, using your personal strengths.

You’ll learn to recognize and pronounce hundreds of sounds from the world’s languages. You’ll be able to develop alphabets, compile dictionaries and describe grammars. Our training opens doors to effective cross-cultural relationships and service.

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.

Scholarships are available! We offer a number of training packages, including a unique summer program.
