| • Groups of levels
adapted to each individual |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Following
the Common European Framework of Reference
for learning, teaching and assessing French
as a foreign language, we place our students
in groups based on the levels defined in
this framework while taking into account
the language needs and learning strategies
of each person.
Our
ultimate goal is to help you reach
a level of fluency where you will be
able to communicate efficiently and
effectively in French. To achieve this
you will need both a strong command
of the language and an in-depth understanding
of French culture. |
