Program Requirements

The Certificate of Proficiency in French - Language and Culture is designed to offer thorough and integrated instruction of French as a Second/Foreign language over six levels (beginner to advanced). The program objectives include learning strategies for speaking, listening, writing, reading and pronunciation. A specific feature of the program is a cultural module at each level. Through this program, students will acquire the linguistic, communicative, pragmatic, and cultural competence needed to interact comfortably in work and social settings.

Application to the program must include full payment of tuition fees for one session. Tuition fees for subsequent sessions may be paid at a later date, determined by the University. Tuition fees do not include text books, medical insurance, travel or accommodation costs, or any class outings. Please note that credit card transactions cannot be conducted by telephone or by mail.

The courses are held during the day. Students benefit from small class sizes and enjoy sharing their learning experience with classmates who have come from all over the world. Some cultural activities are held after class during the week.
