What teaching methods does LEC use during its language immersion programs?

Our language immersion programs are built on an effective teaching approach. Using innovative learning methods, they enable young people to make significant progress in the language. In addition, the learning environment is highly conducive to learning:

1. At school, students typically have 36 hours of language classes per term. With LEC, for a two-week summer program combining intensive language classes and activities, for example, students receive a total of 32 hours of instruction. This concentration of a large number of class hours over a short period of time allows for excellent retention of knowledge.

1. Furthermore, in elementary, middle, and high school, students are typically in classes of 30 students on average. In the Intensive Courses and Activities program, to use the same example, classes are limited to a maximum of 8 to 10 students. This means that teachers have much more time to devote to each student, and everyone gets the chance to speak up much more often.
2. Finally, these classes are formed based on a placement test, which helps maintain a consistent skill level within the group and allows for personalized instruction.
