You learn the language of your choice in a unique program that emphasizes oral fluency, business and social communication, and cultural etiquette. You learn the grammar, expressions of politeness, idioms and vocabulary necessary to communicate in everyday situations. You may start as a beginner and work your way up to an advanced level. Friendly coaches in learner-centred classes stress participation, pronunciation, and accuracy in everyday and business communications. You may ask your instructor for help appropriate to your level of expertise.
Every language course is customized at the level of the individual.
You do not require previous background in the language of choice to begin your certificate language program. First you must register and successfully complete the required number of courses and achieve a classroom attendance record of at least 75 percent. If you're enrolled in a Distance learning course, you must complete all the assignments. Then you apply in writing to the Registrar's Office for your Certificate upon successful completion of the required number of courses. For distance learning language courses, you may enroll at your convenience, anytime throughout the year.
