TARGET AUDIENCE

Any person interested in developing their oral and written communication skills in the language offered, and who is autonomous (i.e. able to carry out online research independently) and who is ready to invest time outside the course for their learning. Effectively, the objectives of the work plan and the evaluations are identical to the standard classes which take place three times per week.

The learner must possess or have regular access to computer equipment (a PC, tablet or laptop) which is connected to the internet, and which the learner is able to use productively. The course participant has good word-processing skills (i.e. is able to use MS Office, emails, etc.) as well as the ability and willingness to use various applications, as well as ‘cloud’ and online sharing platforms, which are necessary to take these courses.
