As such, an Immersion is neither a guided tour nor a language lesson \u2013 it is a facilitated exploration of cultural sites, shopping districts and other venues during which participants use a second language to learn about and discuss Quebec\u2019s culture, heritage and daily life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Facilitated Experiences &#8211; not Guided Tours&#8230; <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Immersion Quebec offers facilitated visits, not guided tours. During a guided tour, the guide does most of the talking. Not so with an Immersion. The mission of our Volunteer Facilitators is to induce participants to practice their language skills by having them d the talking. To facilitate this, prior to an Immersion experience participants will be asked to do a bit of homework \u2013 to\u00a0review reference material concerning the sites to be visited. In doing so, they come with at least some prior knowledge. The job of our facilitators is to evoke that knowledge, call on prior experiences and encourage free discussion along the way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who are the Participants? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Immersion participants come from all quarters \u2013 new permanent residents, students, temporary residents, tourists, and even native Quebecois(es). For new residents and tourists that want to learn more about the city, its people and culture, there\u2019s no better way than through an Immersion experience. For native Quebecois(es) who would like to re-experience their city and culture in a second language such as English, Immersions encourage practical language use in a familiar setting rather than a sterile, classroom-based language lesson.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your Role as a Volunteer Facilitator.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>As a Volunteer Facilitator you will be helping a group of five to seven people experience Quebec City as never before. Using your French and\/or English language skills, knowledge of the City, and your personal experience, you will lead participants through neighborhoods or other areas they may not be familiar with, encourage discussion in the target language about what those areas have to offer, and last but not least, facilitate an engaging and enjoyable learning experience participants will want to continue by participating in other Immersion offerings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Will I Receive Training? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Yes, absolutely! As a future Volunteer Facilitator, you will receive both classroom and on-the-ground training to familiarize you with the mission and function of a Facilitator. This includes an introduction to Immersion locales as well as access to reference materials and other documentation designed to help make your work both enjoyable and effective.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Sort of Time Commitment is Involved? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>After you have completed one two-hour classroom session and two on-the-ground training sessions, you will be free to determine your own schedule electronically. Ideally, once you\u2019ve completed training, we\u2019d like to have you facilitate four Immersions per month. If you can do more that\u2019s great \u2013 if you want to do less, that\u2019s fine too. It\u2019s all up to you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are there Physical Requirements?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes. Working as a Volunteer Facilitator requires the ability to walk two kilometers. Otherwise, there is no lifting, carrying or other physical work involved.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are there any other requirements? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Only that you enjoy working with people, can engage them in lively conversation, and finally, love showing off the rich culture and heritage of Quebec City.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do I get started?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To get more information about Immersions Quebec and your potential role as a Facilitator, please contact:\u00a0Joseph Ramunni at\u00a0Tel: (418) 661-7766 or by E-mail: <a href=\"mailto:ramunnij@gmail.com\">ramunnij@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Thanks for your consideration.
