Integrated Studies
All students, both Intensive and Semi-Intensive, take Integrated Studies during Periods A and B. In these periods, we use an integrated approach to the improvement of your general ability to communicate. The emphasis is on oral fluency.

• Period A deals with language elements and their practice.
• Period B targets language usage through discussion of video, audio and written materials.

Focus Studies
Only Intensive students take Focus Studies during Period C. This period permits students to focus on special skills. Subjects have been carefully chosen to provide you with a range of topics suitable to your ability and interests. Topics are offered at three levels on a rotational basis. As a Focus Studies option, Intensive students may choose computer-assisted language study in the Student Resource Centre during Period C. Intensive students are helped by our staff to select the Focus Studies courses most appropriate to their needs and interests.

• Period D, at the end of the day, offers all students the time to work independently in the Student Resource Centre or to take PLUS lessons which are customized to their needs and goals.

Students enrolled in the Intensive program study 6 hours each day. Classes are scheduled from 9:00a.m. to 4:30p.m. Breaks are scheduled outside of the teaching hours.
