SUBJECTS DISCUSSED
If you want, for example, to get help from your teacher to understand the 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, 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, the immigrant course program can be delivered online (mostly via Google Meet) or over the telephone. 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 discuss with your teacher your willingness to do exercises outside of school hours to consolidate the concepts learned during the course, the latter will send you your homework through the study area.
LENGTH OF THE CLASSES
At Global Lingua, the courses are given at a frequency that is best for its clients. People 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 the language, 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 TOEFL, TOEIC, TCF for Quebec, or IELTS. These courses are also offered online or by phone.
