Each lesson is 45 minutes long.

All courses are divided into Core Skills classes and Specific Skills options. Students also have Task Team Time during which they work in groups on projects related to their classes. Every 4 weeks, each group of students makes a presentation to the class on their project. Task Team Time is a great opportunity to improve Communication in English and work in a team.

The core of programs is the English Core Skills class, which is offered at 7 levels (from beginner to advanced). These levels correspond to the levels A0 to C2 of the Common European Framework. The Core Skills program is externally referenced to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) and The Association of Language Testers in Europe (ALTE) Can-do statements. By following your study path you will work on the four skills of reading, writing, listening, speaking and on grammar - while all the time being assessed against international standards. The unique modular approach means your path can be adjusted to match your strengths.

The Specific Skills classes are a special feature of English courses. These classes focus on a specific area such as Listening and Vocabulary, Grammar and Writing, or Conversation and Pronunciation. You will take the classes which are most appropriate to your particular language learning needs.

The Standard English Language Course consists of 20 lessons of 45 minutes from Monday to Friday. This program allows students to improve their English and at the same time have time to visit the city and to participate in activities.

Course Structure: Each day (Mon-Fri) you receive: 1 Communication Skills class + 1 Specific Skills class + 1 Task Team Time

Most of the students choose the full-time Intensive English Language course of 30 lessons per week. It consists of 06 lessons per day, from Monday to Friday. We recommend the full-time Intensive program for any long-term students (3 months or more) and for anyone wanting to take full advantage of their time in Canada to explore the country. Students take a combination of Core Skills and Specific Skills classes + Task Team Time.

The Super Intensive English Language course (40 lessons per week of classes) is aimed at accelerating your learning with maximum time in the classroom. It will help you achieve your goals in English in the shortest possible time, whether you are a university student or a successful professional. The Super Intensive program is a great choice for professionals or for university students who already have some English and limited time to study.

Private lessons are designed for students who have specific needs and wish to work on individual language weaknesses or to focus on a specific topic or field of interest. Students plan their course program directly with the teacher. Students interested in private lessons can combine them with a regular group program. Students can book the number of private lessons they want.

The Academic Year or Semester Program is a great opportunity to experience life in Canada for 5 or 9 months. You will gain a truly international perspective on life as you study alongside classmates of many different nationalities. You’ll return home with significantly improved language skills and memories to last a lifetime.

You will be able to choose from a wide range of specific skills classes to personalise your courses for academic or career needs.
