This was an unforgettable experience to study and socialize with people from all around the world and to learn about and experience the Quebecois culture.

Besides attending French class every morning, the three weeks were packed full of amazing activities including: two visits to CBC to record a news segment and to watch the live filming of a Quebecois talk show, poutine and movie night, high ropes course, guided city tour, photo exhibition titled "Montréal, my reality", etc.

So many memories and friends were made and I definitely recommend this program 100%!

What would you improve about this program?

I'd make it four weeks in length so the schedule wasn't as busy. I'd also add one more level of French (maybe advanced?).

Questions & Answers

Staff Interviews

These are in-depth Q&A sessions with program leaders.

What position do you hold at HEC? What has been your career path so far?

Juliette Laplante-Lherault

Juliette: I am the Business French Instructor at HEC Montréal Business School.

Did you study abroad? If so, where and what inspired you to go?

Juliette: Unfortunately, I have never studied abroad. I would have liked to do so in order to learn, among other things, other languages but I guess it was not meant to be.

However, throughout my career as a professor of French as a Foreign Language, I have had the chance, or should I say privilege to meet students from around the world. This has allowed me to travel vicariously through them, providing me the opportunity to see the world through their eyes while giving me an appreciation for all its richness.

This knowledge that I have gleaned from others has served me well and will serve me still in my professional life as a teacher. Without this insight, I would not be the teacher I am today, certainly not as sensitive and appreciative of the needs of my students.

What does the future hold for HEC - any exciting new programs to share?

Juliette: I am delighted and proud to be part of the impressive team at The Foreign Language Training Center at HEC Montréal Business School, a warm and stimulating university environment within a forward-looking and innovative institution that is definitely paving the way for the education of tomorrow!

About HEC Montreal

Founded in 1907, the École des hautes études commerciales de Montréal, better known today as HEC Montréal, was the first business school established in Canada. HEC Montréal was also the first university business school in North America to be awarded the three most prestigious accreditations in its field: AACSB International, EQUIS and AMBA.
