Intensive Programme
25 lessons of 45 minutes per week (i.e. 18h45)
= 15 group classes + 10 workshops
Planning
Classes alternate between mornings and afternoons every other day. Depending on the group you are in, you will have classes three mornings and two afternoons a week, or vice versa.
Aim of the General French course
- Improve your oral and written French using real-life, everyday situations.
- Work on comprehension as well as oral and written production.
- Acquire the vocabulary and grammar you need to communicate effectively.
Example of an activity
We offer dynamic, user-friendly teaching based on real-life activities.
Example of a classroom activity :
- A1: To learn how to order in a restaurant, the teacher suggests role-playing. The teacher plays the waiter, the student plays the customer.
- A2: “The statements game” Each student gives three statements about themselves, two true and one false. With the help of questions, the other students have to guess which one is false.
- B1/B2: To work on opinion, the teacher proposes a concrete situation: in a company, some employees ask for a smoking room, while others are opposed to the idea. At the end of the debate, a collective solution must be found.
Aim of the workshops
10 workshops: speaking practice, French culture, language reinforcement, phonetics and writing practice.
The workshops are dedicated to a specific objective and/or skill, offering activities to reinforce or practise French in more targeted contexts.
Examples of workshop activities according to level: phonetics, conversation, written expression, songs, practical French, press/TV, dictation/spelling, grammar reinforcement, French culture, cinema, etc…
