Course format
This course is 100% online and instructor supported with real-time classes. Our online conversational language courses offer you a virtual classroom experience where you can see and interact with your teacher and classmates. Just like in a classroom, you do individual, pair and group work, ask questions and receive verbal feedback from your instructor.
Outside of class time, you can access handouts and other materials online at your own pace and rhythm. You might be doing readings or watching videos to prepare for your next class, or practising with the material you have learned in your previous class.
Materials will be available in Canvas for three weeks after the course ends, after which time you will no longer be able to access the course.
