Learn how governments and institutions attempt to control language use in the U.S. and abroad through classwork and by observing language policy and language practice in Quebec, Canada.
Quebec City A three week summer course set in the heart of French speaking Canada. Quebec City is a visual delight and will soon have you thinking you are strolling along the medieval walls of some quaint and wonderful historic European city.
No trip to French-speaking Canada is complete without a visit to romantic Québec City. There's a definite European sensibility here and you'll feel farther from home then you are, walking down cobblestone streets and stopping in small shops selling everything from pastries and artisanal cheese to antiques and art.

Québec City is the crown jewel of French Canada and if you're coming for the first time, look out - there's simply no other place like it in North America. It's pure Old World Europe right smack in North America, the heart and soul of francophone culture in the New World, and it's got a boisterous and down-to-earth population proud to show it all off.
In short, it's hard not to be completely wowed by the place. Lonely Planet
