Module Name: Discussion in the Group

One of the most challenging aspects of learning English is socializing and adjusting to Canadian culture. With this in mind, program participants will engage in small groups of foreign and Canadian students to discuss various themes. Students may hone their public speaking methods, learn to discuss and defend their points of view, and increase their speaking self-confidence with the supervision and support of the language instructor. Certain classes may be self-taught, enabling learners to connect in a real-world setting. This element of the program’s objective is to build students’ confidence when participating in more meaningful social contexts within Canadian culture.
