Programs & Activities - Montreal, Canada

Programs

The teaching approach focuses on all basic language skills; listening, speaking, reading and writing. Students learn vocabulary and structure, progressing from basic to advanced conversational ability. Classes are small with a maximum of 12 students and often with only 6 or 7 group participants. The small group size assures you of maximum individual participation and attention from the teacher.
- Instruction is offered at up to nine levels from elementary to advanced. Students are given an evaluation exam upon arrival and are placed in the appropriate group. A team of teachers, working in rotation, will personally guide you in your studies. They will tutor you in the four language skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. With the assistance of audio cassettes, overhead projectors, video and other visual aids, your team will instruct you in grammar, correct pronunciation and the use of everyday idiomatic language.
Classes are held Monday through Friday with a morning session from 9:00 to 13:30 and the afternoon session from 13:45 to 18:15.
Each class has a duration of 60 minutes.

Please note: English language lessons are also available.

Semi-Intensive Program Group 20 hours per week. The Semi-Intensive Program makes use of the integrated approach to language acquisition. Classes begin at 9:00 and end at 13:30 for a total of 4 hours daily. Breaks are scheduled outside of the teaching hours.

Intensive Program Group 30 hours per week. Students enrolled in the Intensive program study 6 hours each day. Classes are scheduled from 9:00 to 16:30. Breaks are scheduled outside of the teaching hours. There are 3 periods of group study daily led by a team of teachers. Instructor variety gives you exposure to a wider range of native speakers.
