English for the youngest

English courses for children or teenagers

At the Marco Polo Institute, we rely on exchange and interculturality to enhance the English level of the youngest. Thus, we offer three innovative and interactive English training devices for children or teenagers.


Interviews with international personalities

We collaborate with Young Global Citizens – the Young Citizens of the World program.This community brings together schools from all over the world around the concept of global citizenship and the 17 sustainable development goals of the United Nations.

Thus, we enable children, through interviews with personalities, to develop skills in communication, critical and creative analysis, but also and above all, to gain self-confidence and openness to the world.

Nowadays, it is important that children can communicate in English with the whole world. As such, the program highlights these exchanges between young English-speaking students from the city of Vancouver, but also from other countries in the world. We strongly believe that this activity is a good way to raise their awareness and help them build the world of tomorrow.

Echanges Vancouver

Process

The concept is based on interviews with renowned foreign personalities, the list of which you will find by clicking on this link: Young Global Citizens (onfabrik.com)

The preparation at the Marco Polo Institute is organised in such a way as to make children and teenagers practise both their written and spoken English.

The device can be repeated as many times as they wish.

The interest of the method is multiple for our children and our adolescents

  • Improving their level of oral English because all the preparation for the interview is done in English.
  • Work on one of the objectives of sustainable development
  • The communication with other participants around the world.
  • The development of analysis and critical thinking so that they can form their own point of view.
  • The benefit of international recognition.
  • Openness to the world.

We strongly believe that this adventure will allow them to develop and/or preserve their level of English, both written and spoken, and will encourage them to engage in this learning process.


English formation for children or teenagers
Weekly classes

By age or level group

The objectives are:

  • to support children and teenagers in their learning of English, both orally and in writing,
  • to prepare a future summer camp for children and teenagers who so wish.

The courses are held mainly in face-to-face with a trainer.

We recommend 2 hours per week.

Cours d'anglais

Exchanges between Chinese and French classes.

We promote exchanges between both countries and cannot help but notice the positive impact it has on our children.

During these exchanges, children from a French or Chinese school present an activity they like and explain to the partner school how to do it. It is a sweet moment of exchange and sharing that we really want to spread more widely throughout schools.

Thus, we contribute to a positive vision of the world and to a better understanding of what it has to offer.

Echange

English for adults

English courses for everyone, kids or grown-ups!

Don't be afraid to express yourself in English during your professional or personal discussions! We've developed English training programmes for adults in order to meet your needs while adapting to your own situation.

French as a Foreign Language courses (FLE)

Learning French at the Marco Polo Institute - French as a Foreign Language


You are an agency,
a foreign school or university


Formations Français Langue Etrangère

Are you looking for openness to the world and outward contacts? Looking to collaborate with France? We offer French as a Foreign Language training and integration courses in higher education.

The Marco Polo Institute support your students in their effort to join a French school or university.

We are privileged partners of several colleges and universities so that we can offer adequate pathways to foreign students to facilitate their integration into French universities or colleges.


You are a foreign student and wish to learn French


Formations Français Langue Etrangère

With our French as a Foreign Language (FLE) courses, it is now possible to learn French in a fun and effective way while making rapid progress.

It is often said that learning a language is never better than when you immerse yourself in a country, in its culture. It is true that practicing the language on a daily basis, in a dynamic and sufficiently calm and studious environment, makes it possible to progress quickly.

That is why we have decided to develop, in addition to traditional French as a Foreign Language (FLE) training, several pathways allowing you to learn the French language and culture. Furthermore, these pathways help you get ready to join schools or universities in the best possible conditions.


Optimise your French as a Foreign Language (FLE) training


Formations Français Langue Etrangère

Our Institute takes several factors into account to optimise your French as a Foreign Language (FLE) training.

Adapted course levels

We attach great importance to providing each of you with an appropriate course level so that you can benefit from the best learning conditions.

Small groups to optimise learning

First of all, we organise groups of 12 people maximum to promote interactions and exchanges.

Likewise, it creates a friendly and caring atmosphere

Finally, we make sure to respect everyone's learning pace with individual follow-up

A lively and dynamic education

If written expression remains important, we favour oral expression and comprehension. To be able to understand, follow and participate in a discussion brings you so much satisfaction, don't you think?

Learning French at the Marco Polo Institute is therefore intended to be pragmatic and effective, and aims to:

  • Integrate linguistic and cultural knowledge
  • Develop your fluency in the understanding and expression of the language,
  • Develop your communication skills.

Varied educational activities

Our teachers rely on role playing, situationsal exercises, or even authentic written, audio or video documents. And all these elements combined allow an optimal interplay between the participants.


Since we don't want anyone to get bored, our trainers establish a dynamic and inspiring learning pace, conducive to concentration and motivation..

Competent and enthusiastic teachers.

Because we strive for excellence, we focus on working mainly with training partners who own the FLE Quality Label.

Moreover, our trainers are specialised and qualified in teaching the French language to foreigners.

Self-study

The success of your progress in French also relies on self-study.

We encourage participants to get involved outside of class to put the knowledge learnt into practice, which is essential for you to progress and also to optimise the courses.

The municipal media library is located a few hundred meters from the premises of the Marco Polo Institute. You can borrow novels, magazines, textbooks, films or audio books and also find a very studious workspace. The library also offers many digital resources.

A regular assessment

Assessment is part of learning. Our teachers will assess you regularly and make sure that you're involved in your own assessment.

Finally, we will give you a certificate specifying the level of your courses and your attendance at the end of the course.
