Montreal Teen Language Adventure

General Description

Teen Language Adventure(TLA) offers an effective small-group language course combined with an adventure in Canadian culture and lifestyle. In July - August LSC welcomes teenagers from ages 13 to 17 from diverse areas of the globe to the world's largest bilingual, bicultural city: Montreal.

Classes are offered in English or French in small groups. The programme provides language learning in an entertaining and meaningful context. Speaking and listening take priority.

Language Adventure activities are chosen to ensure that students are offered a balance of sports with a variety of interesting cultural outings. LSC monitors ensure that our young clients are well-supervised during activities.

Students stay in homestay. Special care is taken in selecting homestay hosts who have an active interest in younger students and who create a welcoming home for our Language Adventure participants.

Summer Schedule (TLA)

Instruction

You have 3 hours of class each morning. A full-time Programme Co-ordinator is available during class hours to provide a link between the TLA campus and the LSC office. TLA students have classes and lunch on site. After all afternoon activities, TLA Monitors return the students to LSC. The Co-ordinator is at LSC in the afternoon to greet the students as they return from activities. You can use the internet and e-mail in the LSC Student Resource Centre following afternoon activities.

At the end of the programme each day, SLA students have about 1-2 hours to use the internet or e-mail at LSC or spend some time with their friends exploring the city.

Homestay Accommodation

You stay in homestay. Three meals are provided daily (bag lunch during school days).

Homestay provides you with the opportunity to use your language in real-life situations. You get a first-hand look at the way Canadians live.

In Canada, it is usual that both the homestay hostess and host work outside of the home during the day. Language Adventure students are responsible for going to school and returning to homestay by themselves.

Included Activities

Designed for teenagers, Language Adventure offers a balanced blend of activities which introduce students to the city and its culture as well as providing them with many opportunities to participate in sports. Montreal is host to several festivals, artistic and cultural events. The planned schedule takes advantage of Montreal's many attractions so that you can enjoy the best summer has to offer.

LSC Monitors supervise our young students during the day activities programme. They also act as guides on outings and as team leaders for sports. The Monitors are chosen for their experience working with or leading young people in group settings. All transportation and fees are handled by the school.  Activities are subject to change.
