Students must have their own 35mm film or digital SLR camera and a sturdy tripod. An assortment of lenses is not necessary but is an advantage.

Langara’s facilities include: three fully-equipped studios, 12 fully-equipped colour and black and white darkrooms, a colour dry-to-dry print processor, a large wet processing area, a print finishing and mounting room, three well-equipped Mac labs for digital imagery, two Hasselblad H3D medium format cameras, and several professional Epson printers.

Electronic Music ProductionELECTRONIC MUSIC PRODUCTION (FULL-TIME)

The Electronic Music Production Program trains producers on a number of levels, from individuals who will be writing, recording, and producing their own work, to individuals who will be recording and producing other artists’ works, to composers who will be writing, recording, and producing work for commercial purposes (such as scores for film, TV, and games). The recording industry has changed significantly with the ongoing development of recording and producing software like Cubase that allow producers to work independently outside of the studio environment. Often you will find producers only using commercial studios to finalize the mix. The other instruments, vocals, effects, and mixing, will be taken care of outside of the commercial studio, saving significant money for recording artists.

Students in this program will be using either a Mac or PC laptop, an audio interface, and the following software (all of which they keep): Cubase, Ableton Live, Reason, Native Instruments Komplete, Miroslav Philharmonik, and a mixing package. The students will register the computer and software in their own names. While students will produce the majority of their work on their own computer, they will also be working in some of Vancouver’s top commercial recording studios.

Entry into this program is based on an interview. Students will receive extensive one-on-one instruction and consultation. All instructors are professional musicians and producers from the music industry, chosen for their extensive technical knowledge and industry recognized expertise.

DRAWING FOR ILLUSTRATIONVSAR1102Illustration is the visual communication of an idea, a story, or a message that appears in editorial, advertising, and publishing media, and it begins with drawing.

STYLISTIC MOVEMENTS IN ILLUSTRATIONCICP1021Many great artists of the past were in tune with the idea of visual communication and the need to connect with the audiences of their day. As illustration progressed from the 19th to the 20th centuries the advent of offset printing created what is now called the Golden Age of Illustration, and the rest, as they say, is history. With this exciting and unique take on the traditional art history class, students will follow the styles and art movements that influenced illustration from the invention of the printing press to present-day digital media. This will also be a hands-on approach to learning, with drawing and painting exercises mixed with lecture and visual presentation.

PERSONAL PRODUCTIVITY & LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT SERIES

When it comes to getting some serious work done, are you able to make the best use of your time and energy? There are many ways to keep interruptions and distractions from ruining your focus. Applying the insights and methods of exceptionally productive leaders and teams to your workflow can help you to be consistently on-task and productive.

The three courses in this new series emphasize the connections between improving your day-to-day productivity practices, presenting your ideas with credibility and clarity, and exercising strong team-leadership skills.

Paradoxically, poor organizational habits are often reinforced by the same technologies designed to make us more effective. Business people spend most of their days swamped with email, meeting requests and piles of paper around the office. This typically results in a reduced ability to get work done (particularly strategic work), coupled with high levels of stress and even burnout.

This series was developed through coaching hundreds of business people on how to be more effective with one of their most important commodities – their time.

MANDARIN EDUCATION FOR ADULTS

Adult Mandarin courses are offered four times a year, beginning each January, April, July, and September. There are 10 weekly classes in each session. All instructors are fully qualified and experienced.

There are ten levels of adult Mandarin courses designed to help students progress from the basic Hanyu Pinyin system to advanced conversational skills. Although functional conversation is the focus of this multi-level course, attention to grammar, reading, writing and listening are also emphasized. Repeating the same level sometimes helps to give students more confidence and practice before moving to a higher level. From Level 6 upwards, the course materials vary from session to session in order to cover a wider range of sentence structures and topics.

ESL +2 +2Langara’s ESL programs use an integrated approach to language learning. Rather than teach skills in isolation, we take a more holistic approach. We combine the language skills of speaking, listening, reading, and writing, and focus on a variety of relevant and interesting topics. Using a content-based curriculum, we engage students in activities that require the use of a variety of skills and strategies to encourage authentic communication.

This creates a dynamic, student-centred learning environment in which students acquire language in a natural and meaningful way. Gradually, students learn to approach classroom content the same way as Canadian students whose first language is English.

Langara offers two ESL programs that focus on moving students into university in the shortest possible time: Skills Training for English Proficiency (STEP) and Langara English for Academic Purposes (LEAP).

STEP = Skills Training for English Proficiency LEAP = Langara English for Academic Purposes

Note: ESL Entry Level is determined by a placement test upon arrival at Langara College. Length of ESL study dependent on placement level.

Speaking LEAP

My LEAP Experience!I chose the LEAP program at Langara College because one of my friends who had taken the program became very successful. I wanted to be as good as her!

LEAP taught me how to read fast and stay focused on the main points. I learned to collect thoughts quickly and organize ideas logically. I was also encouraged to bring my personal experience and cultural knowledge into discussions and into understanding the context. LEAP 7 showed me debating skills and LEAP 8 prepared me to do research. With these two effective skills, I am able to do well in my academic studies.

My ACADEMIC Courses!I am currently taking Accounting, English, Psychology and Math at Langara. I have no problem listening to lectures as long as I prepare before class. I find the transition to academic studies not so hard.

LEAP is a big treasure. It prepares me comprehensively.
