Education: one of the highlights of all our trips

For over 50 years, the teaching methods developed and implemented by our teams have proven to be particularly effective and are regularly updated. Our commitment to high-quality instruction reflects a clear and consistent goal: to motivate young people to speak the language and to give them the confidence and skills they need to succeed in both written and spoken communication.

Competent and dedicated teachers

1. Selectedthrough personal interviews, all of our teachers hold degrees and are certified or have passed the agrégation exam, and are passionate about their work
2. Courses taught by both Indigenous and bilingual teachers, combining different teaching approaches
3. Teachers who listen to students, care about their well-being, and take each student’s expectations and goals seriously

Effective classes that lead to progress

1. An educational environment designed for young people
2. A wide variety of program options to meet the needs and expectations of elementary, middle, and high school students, as well as college students
3. Small-group classes (ranging from 1 to 15 students, depending on the program) that allow for personalized attention
4. Enhanced interactivity
5. Homogeneous ability groups formed based on a test
6. Regularly updatedcurriculum (personalized approach, interactive teaching methods, action learning, etc.)
7. Optimized learning time: with LEC, 1 hour of class = 60 minutes of instruction (scheduled breaks are not included in the class duration)
8. Catching up on any knowledge gaps that may have developed
9. Improving language skills through instruction that combines both oral and written work
10. Building self-confidence and motivation to express oneself more easily

Smaller class sizes

1. The various programs offered by LEC are designed to provide a wide range of course options with small class sizes, in order to meet everyone’s needs.
2. Depending on the program, classes consist of 4, 6, 10, or 15 students (private lessons are also available on a one-on-one basis, ensuring genuine progress and close monitoring of the students.)

Build greater confidence in both written and spoken communication

Our teachers adapt their approach to the students’ level and use active learning methods to build confidence and self-assurance. This ongoing support allows students to deepen their knowledge during their language study program and become more comfortable speaking the language. Throughout the program, support is provided to create an environment conducive to learning the target language.

Ongoing and personalized assessment

Regardless of the program you choose (except for Club 4 and Activities programs and Family Immersion programs), an assessment must be completed online or on the first day of classto allow teachers to form groups of similar proficiency levels and tailor the instructional content of their lessons. The educational programs for our language camps are based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Additionally, at the end of the camp, a report prepared by the teachers is sent to parents to provide them with an assessment of their child’s progress following the classes and to keep them informed of their child’s language development.
