The Focus on Communication (FOC) program develops confidence in speaking, increase word power and improve pronunciation. This course is designed to help you communicate effectively and with ease in a wide range of situations from social settings to debates and presentations.

FOC combines the morning oral communication periods (Periods 2, 3 and 4 – see Course Structure tab) with select afternoon workshops designed especially for FOC students, such as Power Speaking and Debating. You can change your workshop topic weekly allowing you to better customize your studies to your individual needs.

In addition to class work, this course includes one free Chat Buddy session (3 to 5 hours per week) per month. Your Canadian Chat Buddy will help you to practice your conversational skills outside of the classroom and become familiar with Canadian life through a variety of social activities.
