30 lessons of 45 minutes a week
30 French classes a week is a substantial commitment which requires real motivation. This course has been developed for students who want to learn to speak French for pleasure or work and make rapid progress.
The morning module offers tuition in general written and spoken French in a motivated and relaxed atmosphere.It is in the afternoon that the word “intensive course” takes on its significance. In a group of no more than 6 people you will be challenged to find explanations and defend a position you have chosen. You will have to pay attention, spot your interlocutors’ questions and start to manage your automatic responses. As such it's an intensive exercise: this is where you develop your linguistic reactions, this is where you learn to speak French without thinking. It is in France, in the country itself, that intensive classes become relevant.
Morning timetable
Monday to Friday, 9 am to 12.20 pm (including a 20-minute break)
In the morning written and spoken French is taught using dynamic and fairly intense teaching methods. Learning the required grammar points for each level, speaking and writing, reading and listening comprehension, role plays etc: here is an overview of morning activities.
Afternoon timetable
Monday to Friday, 2 pm to 4 pm (including a 15-minute break)
The afternoon classes in small groups are based on developing listening comprehension and spoken expression. Active and stimulating teaching methods are used, involving full student participation.
Moreover, these classes familiarize students with French life, culture and civilization. Indeed, learning a modern foreign language is not restricted to the classroom! This is why learning opportunities may be organized outside (discussions with inhabitants, interviews etc.).
As such, the intensive course is an ideal opportunity to talk to other learners, offer a point of view on current affairs, consolidate your pronunciation and much more!
The afternoon timetable provides opportunities for everyone to speak without worrying about their limitations or shyness.
