Program details
Overview
This integrated-skills course is designed for French-speaking students to develop low-intermediate reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills for academic and workplace success. The course will build clear communication in mostly predictable, face-to-face and basic non-face-to-face contexts, strengthen short, accurate written communication and introduce basic self-editing skills, as well as level-appropriate listening and reading comprehension strategies. Through engaging activities, hands-on practice, and active participation, students will enhance their ability to convey simple ideas and short explanations and respond to both spoken and written material with confidence and clarity. They will also develop the skills to interpret somewhat less predictable but familiar written and spoken content. Students will enhance their ability to participate in pair and group activities and practise basic time-management and problem-solving language. By the end of the course, students will have improved their written and spoken communication with an emphasis on clarity and accuracy, while gaining confidence in their listening and reading abilities. Successful learners will be ready to progress toward English for Academic Purposes (EAP) studies at higher CLB levels.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:60.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Admission is via Collège Boréal's own two-step Pre-Health Sciences certificate, or via the OSSD/DESO, an ACE certificate, an equivalent provincial secondary diploma, or Adult Student status, plus one French credit (FIF4U, FRA4C or FRA4U, or equivalent), one mathematics credit (MCR3U, MBF3C, MCF3M, MAP4C or MCT4C, or equivalent), one biology credit (SBI3C, SBI3U or SBI4U, or equivalent) and one chemistry credit (SCH3U, SCH4C or SCH4U, or equivalent). The page sets a minimum overall average of 60% across all prerequisite courses and a minimum of 70% in the mathematics course, and states the programme is enrolment-capped (contingenté). Applicants who do not hold the OSSD must instead submit evidence of English-language proficiency, though those completing the OSSD before classes start are exempt from this. The programme page does not publish its own scores, so Collège Boréal's institution-wide threshold for this credential level applies: CLB 6 / CEFR B2, met for example by IELTS Academic overall 5.5 (no skill below 5.0), TOEFL iBT overall 60, PTE Academic overall 40, or Duolingo English Test overall 95.
