How does it work?

This is what each day of your online French course will be like. We use this methodology to ensure you improve your French as quickly and effectively as possible.

During your class

Small groups of 8-10 students from around the world collaborate via video call with their teacher on the lesson’s objectives They identify personal learning objectives and goals, discuss the questions and task(s) , review any questions and set up the assigned task to be done after class.
After your class: Assigned Task (30 minutes)

Students are asked to work on a writing or speaking post-class collaborative activity, which they may be required to upload on Teams and share with the class. The assigned task gives students extra practice with the language learned in the lesson. Online This task will help identify individual strengths and areas that need to be developed Follow-up discussion and feedback with their group and teacher will help students and teacher set new learning objectives.

Note: Reflection on learning and personal goal setting create a more personalised and intensive learning experience in an online setting.

Jennifer, Canada

I enrolled in this program to learn French from home and believed that its virtual classes would be more intensive than other online options. Each week I notice improvement, especially in my oral communication (which is what I struggle with the most). I liked that each class gives homework that helps students independently reflect on and practice the material they just learned. It is also great how every class incorporates multiple activities, which focus on different aspects of the language. This helped me recognize what my strengths and weaknesses were. Throughout each class, my instructor would only communicate through the language I was learning. While this can seem daunting for newer learners, it proved to be a great way for me to challenge my own understanding of the language. My instructor was very kind and patient. I would recommend this program.

Due to the current situation, it was not possible to visit a foreign country to improve my French. So, I was thinking about an online course. I was happy as EC Montreal sent me an offer for that. In the past, I made two times very good experiences at EC in Montreal. So, it was no question for me to use that possibility to improve my French. I am really satisfied. The classes were very small, the interaction between the teacher and the students were very good even though we were not together in a classroom. The teacher adjusted the lessons very well to the current situation. I also took private lessons. The teacher always responded to my personal needs. As long as possible, I will continue with the online courses.
