Course Summary:

The Japanese Communication program uses CLT (Communicative Language Teaching) methodology to empower the learner with the skills required to communicate effectively in Japanese.

The GEOS Montreal Curriculum is made up of 10 20-hour levels; followed by JLPT preparation classes.

Beginner to Intermediate: Introduces the learner to basic structures, verb tenses, small talk, and conversational techniques. At the completion of the course, the learner will be able to carry on simple conversations in Japanese, understand basic instructions and discuss topics such as weather, price, likes and dislikes.

Advanced: Builds on the skills of the Beginner and Intermediate classes.  Students develop more complex sentence structures, strengthen vocabulary, improve pronunciation and self-expression, and further their listening comprehension. The Advanced Class also allows students to develop a better understanding of the formal use of Japanese. We also have the JLPT Preparation Course available.

Intermediate students may join classes that are currently in progress. Beginner course starting dates in 2011: the week of January 31, March 14, June 6, September 12, October 10, and November 7, 2011.
