General French Classes:

Based a communicative approach, our courses focus on the aquisition of the following skills: expression and comprehension, both written and oral .

Our objective is to provide knowledge of French language and culture in French speaking countries through communication in real situations.

As a student, you will have to be responsible for your learning and participate in several activities designed to promote interaction among students and with the teacher.

Our teaching method is based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. At the most basic level, students will be expected to be able to introduce themselves and talk about their interests, while the more advanced students will complete tasks such as write an application letter or lead a debate...

Our teachers are specialists in the Teaching French as a Foreign Language and will guide and help you to become more independant in your learning. The student plays an active role in the learning process. Personal work in addition to class attendance is necessary to make rapid progress.

Very little English is used, even for complete beginners, yet, after only a few hours, the students quickly master enough elementary French to exchange with their Instructor.

Taxi! is the method used in class. Both text books and exercise books are used during each class and the teacher will regularly ask for homework to be completed for the next class.

Our library is entirely at your disposal to extend your horizons. French books, DVD, Magazines... Taking part in our cultural and social events is also an effective way of improving your knowledge of French.

One midterm test and one final test will determine whether you continue to the next level (An average mark of 10/20 is required to pass)

The Alliance Française can also provide French courses within your premises of your company or institution and according to your needs.

Courses can focus on a specific domain (Business French, French for tourism Industry...)
