Program Categories

  1. Group Programs
    • Target Audience: These programs are ideal for groups of students, including those from universities, adults, and working professionals. Groups come from around the world, and they may be placed in homes as singles, pairs, or sometimes even as triples.
    • Group Benefits: Group homestays are particularly fun and rewarding because students can bond with one another and explore the local community together. It’s a wonderful way to share the experience and create lasting friendships.
    • Engagement: Group students often get the chance to play the role of tourists in their own community, discovering the culture, traditions, and landmarks of Cameroon while practicing their language skills.
  2. Academic Year Programs
    • Target Audience: This program caters to students from around the world who come to Cameroon for a longer academic experience. Students often come from countries such as the USA, Japan, Korea, Spain, China, Italy, Russia, and more.
    • Focus: These students usually attend public or private universities or institutes to gain academic credit while taking French, English, and Hausa language classes alongside local students.
    • Duration: Students in this program typically stay for several months—from 3 months to a year—depending on their academic schedule and language learning objectives.
  3. Independent Language Schools, Universities, and Colleges
    • Target Audience: These programs cater to students enrolled in independent language schools, universities, and colleges who want to immerse themselves in French, English, or Hausa through homestay.
    • Partnerships: CHA partners with several language institutions and universities across the country. The students benefit from a wide range of language programs and specialties, each aimed at improving language proficiency.
    • Duration: The typical length of stay is 1-3 months, although some students opt for longer stays (up to 6 months). Shorter-term programs are also available for those who need a brief immersion experience.
    • Program Flexibility: Students have flexibility in choosing the type of language program that suits their needs, whether they are pursuing a beginner-level course, business language skills, or more advanced language immersion.

Language Training and Immersion Services

CHA offers tailored language training and immersion programs, which can take place either on-site (at the institutions or other relevant locations such as embassies) or in the home environment with the host family. These training programs provide a unique opportunity for students to experience practical language use in a real-world setting.

  • French and English Language Training: The most common language programs CHA provides are focused on learning French and English, both of which are widely spoken in Cameroon. Students can learn these languages for personal, academic, or professional purposes.
