Our teaching method

At Groupe SLC students are encouraged to speak in the second language using role play, oral presentations, verbal exchanges in the form of debates and problem solving activities in real-life situations. Our method is designed to favor the active and continuous participation of the students. We make sure that students feel comfortable, confident and involved in the learning process.

Program management

The teacher produces a weekly report on the progress of each student. Each student must pass an oral and written test. Prior to the beginning of the course, a meeting is scheduled with the company’s representative to help determine the specific needs of the students, as well as the company’s precise objectives.

What is made-to-measure language instruction?

Made-to-measure language instruction simply means that lessons are designed to enable students to learn at their own pace. Lessons are not prepared in advance and recycled from student to student. Following a thorough evaluation of the students’ language skills, we create a program that will best suit their needs.

Promoting an interactive teaching method we believe it is imperative that students collaborate in the process and help us design the best program possible.
