French as a second Language Programs (FSL) - A.L.I.

“The best thing at A.L.I is the teachers. They are really kind and lead you well. You can enjoy studying English.”

Ximena Navarette,

Our FSL Program (French as a second language) offers students three different levels of immersion to choose from: Basic, Intensive, and Super-Intensive. A maximum of 14 students per class in our Core and Skills classes allow students to receive the personalized attention they need and the variety they desire.

Certficates are awarded based on attendance, participation and progress.

On the first day of class, after selecting a program all students take a placement test. An exit test with a final mark of 70% must be completed to pass to the next level.

French Program Level Chart

In our French Program, students can cover one level in 4 to 12 weeks.

Basic French Program
• The Basic Program is an excellent way to combine
studying and traveling.

Basic French Program

20 hours per week
Monday – Friday

Including "Oral Grammar" and "Conversation" classes, the Basic Program allows students to study French and still have enough time to enjoy "la vie Montréalaise" by day and by night.

    Intensive Program
     • The Intensive Program is ideal for students who want a
        complete learning experience.

Intensive French Program

25 hours per week
Monday – Friday

In addition to the "Oral Grammar" and "Conversation" classes, this program offers one hour per day of "Power Skills" class where students can improve in all four linguistic areas (listening, reading, writing and speaking) through a variety of interactive exercises, games and activities inside and out of the classroom.

   Super-Intensive Program
    • The Super-Intensive Program is for highly motivated students
        who want 'extra' practice and personalized coaching.

Super-Intensive French Program

25 hours per week + 5 hours of semi-private instruction
Monday – Friday

Looking for one-on-one attention? Get more talking time, improve your pronunciation, learn new idioms and expressions and receive maximum individualized feedback. In addition to the 25-hour Intensive program, students receive 5 hours per week of semi-private classes with a maximum of 3 students per class. In the event that we cannot match you with partners at a similar linguistic level, you will be given 2 private hours per week (one teacher for one student).
