The
Abbey has close links with the United States of
America as many of its staff are native english
speakers. Furthermore, many U.S.-based study abroad
programs are also housed at The Abbey, providing
many opportunities for cultural interactions.
Sample
programs will include, but are not limited to:
-
An
intensive language lecture, lasting 45 minutes
to 1 hour, taught by an accredited ESL teacher.
-
A
tea/coffee break during which interaction
between staff and students takes place.
-
A
session in our Language Laboratory, making
use of books, CDs and multimedia resources.
-
A
45-minute language course concentrating on
Business English.
-
A
typical American dinner, served family-style.
-
Entertainment,
including videos/DVDs and interaction with
staff and Abbey residents.
If
you have another type of program in mind, please
do not hesitate to contact us. Sessions may be
tailored to suit your business’ needs.
The
Institute also offers students and social anthropologists
the opportunity to study present day Western European
societies and cultures.
Program studies include topics such as Western
European political, economic, and civil society,
and how the changes brought about by the European
Union have affected these institutions. Students
will reside at The Abbey, living alongside the
very people they study. They will be able to study
linguistics (the study of the sounds and grammar
of languages), and the French language. Students
may participate in foreign language classes suited
to their specific level of proficiency.
