French

Welcome to our school. How can we help you meet your language training needs? For the better part of a decade, meeting students' needs is what we have been doing, and what we genuinely enjoy doing.

Whether you are eager to pass that government exam for that great new job, want to fit in more at work, or pad your skills for a better position, we're here to help. Whether it's for foreign travel, personal development or just recreation, our job is to determine your exact language learning goals and help you meet them comfortably, professionally and expertly.

This means listening to you. We start by inviting you to visit the school. Besides assessing your level and goals, we also want to know how you learn best, and what doesn't work for you at all. This helps us design an instructional model just for you.

So, welcome to our website. Please feel free to explore what we have to offer and get in contact with us for more information or an assessment.

A little history:

Ten years ago, a student came to Emile, our founder, in shambles from failing her French language proficiency exam four times, and was a nervous wreck about taking it a fifth time. When Emile approached his then supervisor about how to support her stress about the exam, he was told that it was up to the student to manage her own stress.

This attitude went against everything Emile believed as a teacher and everything that led him to teach. Deeply dissatisfied with the response, Emile sought to ensure the student was both extremely well-prepared and comfortable before she took the next exam. She passed with no problem.

That experience was eye-opening and transformative. Emile then gathered a group of professors to study what was contributing to the generally low-level of success in passing the Public Service SLE Exam.

Their findings became the foundation of École de langues Eagle, established to address the gap between training and student support. From our tiny beginnings, we are pleased to announce our move into a beautiful new space, where we are expanding to meet our growing demand.

Our Approach

Learning a second language and being evaluated in it can be quite intimidating.

There are two parts to expressing competence: being competent and feeling competent.

Being competent

Competent learners result from competent teachers. Competent teachers are planners who sequentially present relevant material. Competent teachers ensure that you:

• understand what you are learning.

• connect what you are learning to prior learning.

• are using the new learning properly and appropriately.

• are using the new learning naturally.

Feeling Competent

As important as providing quality instruction is, supporting a student to feel comfortable using their new language is equally imperative. Because we help a student manage the way they feel about using their language.

Our students feel comfortable to take more risks, and challenge themselves outside the school. Our students often “come out of their shell”, and sign up for activities to socialize and grow in their second language.
