  • How does the online module (asynchronous) work?

    The module is divided into several sections spread over a 10-week period. Each section spans approximately two weeks and consists of structured learning units that allow students to work individually (e.g., lessons, exercises, listening activities, resources to consult, etc.), communicate with the course monitors, and collaborate with other participants (discussion forums).

    Is the online module schedule flexible?

    Yes, it is flexible. However, students are recommended to follow a course plan and timeline, and they must submit all of their quizzes before the the end-of-session deadline in order to pass the module.

    How does the remote conversation module work?

    The conversation workshops are offered by a teacher at fixed dates and times, typically for two hours per week over an 8-week period. These workshops focus on oral communication.

  • Students have until the end of the second week of the online module to withdraw from a module.

    The withdrawal policy is mentioned in the Regulations and Policies section.
