Language Learning Programs
Improve Language Skills with Expert-Led Language Learning Programs in Montreal
Strong language skills are essential for every child’s academic and social development. At Strategic Learning Clinic, our language learning programs are designed to help students strengthen listening, comprehension, and communication skills through research-backed methods and personalized support.
We specialize in using Fast ForWord®, a neuroscience-based language learning program proven to enhance how the brain processes sounds and language, improving reading, writing, and comprehension.
How Fast ForWord® Strengthens Language Learning
Fast ForWord® is a scientifically validated brain-training program that combines adaptive technology and interactive exercises. It helps re-train the brain to process speech sounds more efficiently, enabling students to improve both language learning and reading comprehension. For students who also struggle with planning and working memory, we coordinate with our Executive Function Coaching to reinforce attention and organization.
Students who complete the program typically experience a one- to two-year gain in language skills after just six months of consistent practice. This progress can make a measurable difference in classroom performance and overall confidence.
Why Students Experience Language Difficulties
Language difficulties can arise from a range of causes, from early hearing issues and limited language exposure to genetic or processing differences. When the brain learns to recognize sounds incorrectly, it continues to process speech inefficiently, leading to slower comprehension and weaker communication.
Our program helps rewire these pathways by improving:
- Auditory and language processing
- Working memory and listening comprehension
- Grammar, syntax, and sentence structure
- Reading fluency and academic confidence
By combining language tutoring with cognitive development, students learn to understand, use, and enjoy language more effectively.
The Science Behind Fast ForWord®
Fast ForWord® is built on over 30 years of neuroscience research into how the brain learns language. The program uses intensive, adaptive exercises that modify speech sounds acoustically, making them easier to distinguish for students with auditory processing challenges.
This approach supports brain plasticity, or the brain’s ability to form new neural connections. Over time, students gain stronger attention, faster language processing, and improved reading comprehension.
Depending on a child’s needs, training sessions can be customized:
- 120-minutes a day, 5 days a week (for rapid progress)
- Or a flexible 50-minute daily program that fits into school schedules
Many students notice tangible improvements in understanding instructions, classroom participation, and written expression.
