Training content

French activities :

The teaching is provided in assessed groups (from 10 students minimum to 15 students maximum) to ensure an individual attention. The teachers are both experienced and qualified in teaching French as a foreign language and involved in daily and linguistic difficulties that a foreign student may meet.

The school proposes a pedagogic programme that is continuously adapted to the specific needs of students. You will be regularly evaluated to be sure of your progression and offer you the tutorial you need. A final assessment will attest your French level and the progresses you’ve made.

The teaching programme is for facilitating the student’s daily life, and also for training with the methodology of studying at graduate level in France, specialised vocabulary, finding a job or an internship, work on group projects, practise note taking skills, essay and report writing, presentations.
