Our pragmatic teaching methods are designed to be interesting and effective with a view to developing the students' oral and linguistic skills and their cultural knowledge. The emphasis is placed on oral expression and comprehension. We rely on modern methods of teaching French as a foreign language by using illustration, situational role-play, videos, analysis of current newspapers and magazines, creative exercises, and of course modern communication tools such as internet and CD-Rom.
Small-sized Groups
They facilitate the active participation of each student in diffferent learning activities and allow the teacher to follow the progress closely and give individual tailor-made corrections. Groups are organized on the basis of written and oral tests taken on the first day. The syllabus is determined according to the objectives of each level. Each student will be given a workbook compiled by the teaching team.
