SUBJECTS DISCUSSED
With Global Lingua, you can personalize your classes. For example, if you want to get help from your teacher to understand some terms used in administrative forms, you must inform him or her. Teachers plan learning activities based on your interests, specific needs, and level of language proficiency. We have tests to evaluate your level in French, but it is up to you to mention to your professor your interests and special needs.
You may also have the language skills to immigrate to your host country, but still need to improve your skills depending on your profession. In this case, you should inform the teacher of your willingness to work on vocabulary related to your profession. The success of your classes is based on teamwork between you and the teacher.
TEACHING METHODS
Depending on your preference, our French courses program can be delivered via Google Meet or over the phone. Changes to the class schedule are possible, without penalty, with 48 hours notice. We have a study area at your disposal which allows you to access a multitude of information to optimize your learning. You can also ask your teacher for exercises to do outside of school hours in order to consolidate the concepts learned during classes.
LENGTH OF THE CLASSES
At Global Lingua, the courses are given on a frequency that is best for people. Students usually choose to take 30-minute or one-hour classes, but it is also possible to opt for longer courses. Beginning students generally choose to start the program with a 30-minute class. As soon as you’re more fluent in French, you will feel comfortable continuing the program by taking one-hour classes.
OTHER LANGUAGES COURSES THAT MIGHT BE INTERESTING
Many countries require immigrants to prove their level of the official language of the host country, to grant them the right to residence, a work permit or citizenship, or even access to the host country. Usually, immigrants must pass a test to demonstrate that they have a sufficient level of proficiency.
At Global Lingua, you can take courses to increase your chances of passing a placement test in both English and French. We offer preparation courses for TCF for Quebec and TCF ANF, but also TOEFL, IELTS and TOEIC preparation courses. These courses are also offered remotely by Skype or by phone.
