On the first morning,
you will be introducted to the school,
the area and the teaching staff, then
take a written and oral test,
to determine your level of French. On
this basis, groups of levels are
formed amongst students.
There are several groups of course levels, defined in the Common
European Framework for Language Learning: |
|
|
|
 |
 |
A1/A2
Elementary course |
|
|
For
students with limited knowledge of French |
The course
is designed to familiarise each
student with everyday French to
prepare you to cope with everyday
situations. You invited to react
to certain simulated situations
and are prompted instinctively
to express yourself. Part of the
course is also given over to acquiring
basic elements of grammar. |
|
|
|
|
B1/B2
Intermediary course |
|
|
For
students with a basic knowledge of French |
We encourage
you to make active use of the skills
you already have. The aim of the
course is to enable you to develop
the automatic responses specific
to French, and to refine the expressions
of your ideas in French, by learning
to construct more complex phrases. |
|
|
|
|
C1/C2
Advanced & Superior courses |
|
|
For
students with a good or very good knowledge
of French |
You will work
on oral skills to enable you to
express yourself fluently, and
will deal with subjects relating
to French culture and civilisation.
You will become familiar with idiomatic
expressions and the different levels
of language. In written work, you
will practice analysing and summarising
current texts and producing various
written documents. |
|
|
These levels are completed in both schools by
intermediate levels, to exactly match the students' needs and
to allow them a total confidence in their training and practice, and a
constant progression. |
|
|
At any time during your stay you will
be able to talk to your teachers or to
the senior teaching staff (Director of
Studies and/or assistants) to discuss
your progress and to help you choose
the right course for your needs. Depending
on your progress and based on your teachers’ assessment
of your level, you may change to a higher
level during the course. |
|
|
Certificate |
|
|
| A 'Certificat de Français'
is awarded to each student
upon completion of their
course. The certificate is
an indication of linguistic
performance, and is signed
by both the Head of Department
and the student's teacher.
It includes your teachers
comments, based on the following: |
• the final
level reached
• attendance rate |
