alter_ego

Alter Ego:

Group classes are the best option for those who want to interact with other students while enriching their vocabulary and learning the basics of grammar.

 

Focus is on oral communication and an average of 7 students per class ensures the active participation of all students.

 

Join a morning or an evening group for a two-hour class twice a week, for 10 weeks (40 hours). Fall, winter and spring sessions are available.

 

Our curriculum encompasses four main levels, from A1 to B2 corresponding to an overall language skills profile based on The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

 

 

CEFR is a Council of Europe instrument used in setting up a system of validation of language competencies. It is the result of a long development phase conducted by foreign language teaching specialists, including Canadians, between 1991 and 2001. Each learning situation is contextualized taking into consideration the Canadian context.

 

Alter Ego is a relatively new method for adults which has been designed according to the CEFR. Using a communicative approach, learning is based on authentic tasks and interactions in diversified situations as well as varied themes of everyday life. Students receive their own text, exercise book and CD.
