Advanced module

We have both face-to-face and online classes, so you can choose the format that best suits your interests and routine. Currently, all classes are being held online during the Covid-19 pandemic, but we have our units in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo ready to return to face-to-face classes as soon as the situation improves.

The monthly fee of any school is proportional to the number of hours of classes held per month. At EQ you can choose to take 7:30, 5h, 4h, or 3h classes each week. Since we propose a faster study pace, you will study more hours per week and, as a consequence, learn faster than in other schools. The speed of our courses is accelerated to make the dream of immigration to Québec as soon as possible.

When comparing the total investment to finish a level, a course at EQ is actually cheaper than the average school.

All our courses are offered on different days and times, depending on the weekly schedule (1, 2 or 3 times a week). We open classes throughout the year always at the end of each month. You can check the upcoming dates and modalities available for each level under the “classes” tab.

EQ courses are open to everyone interested in learning French, whatever their motivation. As one of our major objectives is to boost immigration projects to Canada through language teaching, we teach the French spoken in the province of Quebec and we do it in a contextualized way, that is, always bringing the most relevant aspects of this society so that those who wish to immigrate can communicate fluently when arriving in the region. But beware! If you don’t want to immigrate, you can take the risk of getting infected with the Quebec energy and change your plans, as most of our students do 😉

Group classes take place in groups of up to 12 people and are taught by teachers who are native French speakers or have extensive experience abroad. In each lesson, a linguistic objective is proposed (verbs, grammar…) and a communicative objective (introducing yourself, asking someone out…).

The approach taken at Ecole Quebec is called the ‘communicative method’, and it emphasizes communication. We propose real-life situations in which you will be led to interact and use the language to communicate. The oral and written texts are authentic and come from Quebec contexts. Through them, we develop the 4 skills: speaking, writing, listening and reading in French. We do not believe that error is synonymous with failure. On the contrary, mistakes are used in a positive way for development and learning.

For the basic and intermediate levels we use our own teaching material, the Objectif Québec and for the advanced level we use the material Le français par thèmes – Niveau Avancé, in addition to a personalized curation of materials that the teacher makes for each group, according to the group’s interests and needs.
