French as a Second Language

The Official Languages and Bilingualism Institute (OLBI) offers several programs in French as a second language tailored to your needs and skill level: a minor, an advanced minor and a major.

Our programs are designed to sharpen and broaden your skills in your second language. Courses focus on the four essential language skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking) and on more specialized areas, such as grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and culture.

You develop your French through an array of activities that use a great variety of instructional materials. Your learning is supported by innovative and traditional learning resources: multimedia materials and labs, a resource centre, web-based activities and conversation groups.

These programs are for non-Francophone students only.
