Summer 2018 Courses
Mornings-only summer institutes focus on conversational language skills, while full-day summer institutes feature afternoon cultural activities that complement your learning by giving you an opportunity to practise your language skills in real-life contexts. Enjoy excursions and workshops that may include cheese tasting, a UBC farm tour, wine appreciation, croissant making, and celebrations of francophone holidays. Afternoon activities are usually in larger groups, giving you the chance to interact (and practise your French) with students of all levels. You receive an award of completion provided your attendance meets the course requirements.
