Course description

This course provides students with insight into the language and with effective methods of communication. Students take 4 lessons per day from Monday to Friday. Classes generally finish in the early afternoon so students will still be able to enjoy the majority of their afternoons sightseeing and discovering the city and local culture!

The four lessons that you will have each day are as follows:
1 lesson - grammar and general vocabulary exercises
1 lesson - conversation
2 lessons - reading, understanding texts, listening, writing

The course structure may vary depending on the individual teachers and students. The topics may refer to current articles from local newspapers and magazines. We work with texts that match the students' language skills. This way, the texts and topics can be discussed actively by the group.

*There is a possibility of a textbook rental for C$10/week. A C$80 refundable deposit will be charged at the time of a rental.

"Best experience in my life"

Rossie Inelle Meneses Arguelles, student from Mexico

It was the best experience ever! I never imagined to make friends of all over the world like this. The experience was better than expected. The teachers were always nice and kind, the activities were also beautiful and fun (except the trip to lighthouse), and I also learnt a lot more speaking the language with the other people in the school. To me it helped me to improve my skills in English, and my social skills too.
I loved everything else, the memories and friends I made in this summer have such a big place in my heart <3
