As part of the Office québécois de la langue française’s (OQLF) program to support partnerships in francization, the Centre de formation en langues des affaires (CFLA) of HEC Montréal has received financial assistance of $49,000 to build French language skills.
The project Le français, les affaires et vous (French, business and you) aims to motivate the entire School community –faculty, staff members, and students– to think about the place of French in the business world with a view to promoting the language.
“We want to emphasize, together with the entire community, that HEC Montréal is a francophone institution and that this is one of the characteristics that makes us stand out. We must therefore be proud of this distinctiveness and we must promote it as best we can.”
To achieve this goal, the CFLA will carry out several actions in the coming year:
The CFLA’s mission is to motivate and empower HEC Montréal students to invest in their own language learning with a view to developing first-rate communication skills in French, English, Spanish and Business Chinese.
In addition to offering courses, workshops, one-on-one tutoring sessions, and a French language exchange, the CFLA also provides translation, revision and terminology services to HEC staff.
