Part-Time Classes
Description:
This program will help you acquire the basics of grammar and pronunciation as it builds your vocabulary, allowing you to continue to follow your professional activities.
In the classes, a major emphasis is put on conversation, using a communicative approach. Instruction is based on dialogues taken from everyday life. Students learn the language as it is spoken and used by native speakers of the language. They actively take part in situational role plays and other activities in which they discover the nuances of the language, as well as the grammar and vocabulary necessary for comprehension and oral production. Grammar is presented indirectly through conversation activities and situational role plays.
Our small groups (3 to 7 students) allow students to participate actively and ensure personalized attention.
Also, the Caf�linguistique is included for free to allow more practice and exposure to the real language, as spoken by native speakers from here and abroad.
