Julien Couture Resource Centre (JCRC)
Conversation workshops
Our conversation workshops give students the opportunity to interact in either French or English, and to discover certain new cultural aspects. After two years of mostly online interaction, we are really excited to meet you in person on campus. Most workshops will take place in person, at the Julien Couture Resource Centre and we are looking forward to welcoming you here!
Conversation workshops take place during the fall, winter and spring-summer semesters for students at the advanced, intermediate and beginner level. They go on for 12 weeks. Three student facilitators host the workshops, including two for French (FLS) and one for English (ESL). Would you like to learn more about conversation workshops? Read this Q&A.
