French Language Exchange Programs
Offered for Educators and Students

SEVEC (Society for Educa-
tional Visits and Exchanges in
Canada) has programs for both
professional educators and stu-
dents to learn French as a
second language.

SEVEC’s Summer Immersion
Experiences for School Ad-
ministrators and Teachers of
French as a Second Language is
offered at the Seminaire St-
Augustin located just west of
Quebec City. Application dead-
line is May 15.

Immersion students, or stu-
dents interested in learning or
improving their French can par-

 

Warren
Miller’s
“Escape to
Ski"

Escape to Ski, Warren
Miller’s 39th feature film, con-
tains enough spills, thrills and
laughs to ensure an evening of
fun for everyone. Viewers ski
along with the ageless Stein
Eriksen, as he gives a racing les-
son to his 6-year-old son Bjorn.
Fly off 100-foot cornices with
world famous cliff jumpers Scot
Schmidt and Mike Slattery, and
spend a memorable afternoon
cruising with Diana Golden,
who has won seven gold medals

 

 

ticipate in SEVEC’s Summer In-
dividual Exchange program.

Students will be matched with
a compatible "twin" from
Quebec, then, travelling to that
province, students will live and
learn French through intensive
exposure to the language. As
part of the exchange experience,
students will host a twin at
home, enabling him or her to
live and learn in English just as
they'll do in French.

Students age 11 and up are
eligible to participate in the ex-
change, which can vary from 7
to 30 days, normally during July

 

 

 

and August. Deadline for this
program in February 28.

professional or student program,

skiing in the exotic Atlas Mountains of Africa. Photo by Tom Day.
