PROGRAMMING

The objective of the program is to create as much of an immersion-like atmosphere as possible so that participants are exposed to the French language at all times. Participants will be encouraged by teachers and monitors to speak their second language in their classrooms and during all activities.

The program is for all levels – beginners to advanced. Prior to the start of the program, participants will be given a placement test that will determine their level and place them in a class accordingly. Classes are taught by instructors who are not only sensitive to their language needs, but also qualified, experienced, and current in second language methodology.

All four skills will be taught; however, emphasis will be placed on listening and speaking skills. At the graduation ceremony, participants will receive their certificate of completion.
