This program prepares students at a high proficiency level by combining ESL material with IELTS, TOEFL, and other academic English resources.

This general ESL program works all the skills but with a focus on oral communication: pronunciation, fluency, grammar, and vocabulary.

The course is offered on a first come, first served basis, at no extra cost to students. The aim of the program is to introduce students to the French language and to the local culture.

This introductory French language course is a stepping stone for those interested in working and maybe living in Quebec long term. Students learn the sounds of the language and basic grammar and vocabulary, as well as oral communication skills and everyday expressions.

This course is good for students who need to reach a high level of French, whether for work, study, or immigration. It has a more academic focus in the afternoon, when students practise for the official French-language tests.
