Curricula and course material

Curricula

With nearly 40 years experience of teaching French as a Foreign Language, our school has built an efficient programme that will help you make rapid progress and develop knowledge and skills directly transferable to everyday situations.

Our formulas are composed of the following types of courses:

1. Standard courses (general French)

Based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL), the programme for our intensive courses is defined for each level and sub-level :

speaking, comprehension, reading and writing skills
linguistic skills (grammar syntax, vocabulary, phonetics, spelling),
aspects of French culture and civilization

2. Cultural and linguistic workshops

The program of these courses adapts to local, national or international events of the moment to encourage students to discuss various cultural aspects, and produce oral or written texts around original and varied themes. Thus, students are led to enrich their vocabulary and develop their communication skills on diverse cultural topics.

3. General French private lessons

Tailor-made program based on your level test, your objectives, and the number of class hours.

2. Private lessons in French for specific purposes (professional, business, university preparation…)/Exam preparation

A personalised programme based on your level test, your objectives and the number of hours of class you have chosen.
