LANGAGE D'ICI is a Montreal-based family entreprise established in 1991. It now employs over twenty teachers and staff members.

What distinguishes LANGAGE D'ICI from other language schools is first and foremost its commitment to business people and professionals. Since we have been working with this clientele since our inception, we understand their needs and our programs are designed to meet these requirements.

Because quality teaching is of utmost importance, we do periodic evaluations of our course curriculum, thus insuring that the methods used are current and of the highest relavance. No student has to fear being plugged in to a headphone! Our interactive (teacher/student) methods prove to be highly successful. This dynamic approach facilitates the transfer of theory into practice.

Laughter being the best medicine and because we deem that learning should be a pleasant experience, we privilege the use of humor. This in no way means that we lack seriousness! We are aware that laughter inhibits certain defense mechanism that may assist the learning of a new language. This is why we include this trait in the selection of our teachers.

 Our expertise:
LANGAGE D'ICI was founded in 1991. The school was opened by Monique Riel, who has worked in the field of linguistic training for business people since 1970. Our clients benefit from her experience. We carefully select our personnel, offer pre-course meetings, and follow up with each training program.

 A clear intervention method:

      1) Determine the training goals
      2) Evaluate the level of each student
      3) Propose a training plan and have it approved by the person responsible for the course
      4) Execute the training plan
      5) Control the quality of the services. Check to see if it conforms to the objectives established at       the begining
      6) Ensure total satisfaction from the students and the person responsible for the training
      7) Improve or change the focus of the services, if needed
      8) Write up and hand in the training reports to the person in charge of the training program.

 A 10-level subdivision for each language:
Why 10 levels? To allow progressive learning and optimal contextualization of each step in the learning process. With precise content at each level, we can more easily form homogenous groups, which facilitates conversation. Also, the learners progress more rapidly to the next level which encourages them in their learning. In our field, motivation plays a very important role.

 Small groups :
Whether it be for training in your company or in our school, we limit the amount of students per class at 7. Why? So that each student has ample practice time within the class setting. Our aim is to give practical linguistic tools. Hence, we need to allow each the chance to talk in the class. Lectures? Not for the conversation classes as LANGAGE D'ICI.

For all these reasons, we believe we are an excellent partner in the linguistic training programs at your place of business, in our classrooms or off the beaten path.
