PEDAGOGY

Our aim: the success of your training course.

We guarantee:


*Language immersion programmes of high quality and experimented and graduated teachers.

*A warm welcome, a pleasant atmosphere and trustworthy relationships

*A pedagogy based on the Common european framework of reference for languages (CEFR)
(http://www.coe.int/t/dg4/linguistic/CADRE_EN.asp), elaborated by the Council of Europe to allow mutual recognition of language qualifications.

We apply its level scale and the required educational content.

BASIC USER                      INDEPENDENT USER                  PROFICIENT USER
A1: Preliminary                                B1: Threshold                                      C1: Expert
A2: Waystage                                B2: Communicator                                C2: Mastery

*An active methodology : you will work on exercises and projects based on various situations you find in social life. Therefore, original true documents (press releases, essays, songs, advertisments, audio documents...) will help you to work on the 6 following languages skills:
        - Oral comprehension
        - Written comprehension
        - Written composition
        - Interactive written composition (emails)
        - Oral expression (presentation)
        - Oral interactive expression (discussion)

*A constant adaptation to your needs. The language proficiency test you will do beforehand and the discussions we will have with you on your motivations and aims, will give us the right information to offer a customized programme.
N.B. During the language immersion programme, the learning-group will work on commun targets and each student will also have its individual goals to fulfil, in accordance with its needs and the training programme previously discussed.

*Personnalized workshops included in the 2 weeks programmes.

Workshops, why? Among a same group, students have their particular expectations. To meet those individual needs, we propose 4 sessions of 50 minutes each over the two weeks, in order to:  strengthen your knowledge of the french language  widen your vocabulary                      work on more specific items/subjects (correspondance, phonetics...)                      deepen some aspects mentionned during the lessons   etc. For beginners, the workshops are the opprtunity to strenghten their newly aquired knowledge through customised activities.

Workshops, how does it work ? 1. We set up the workshops in fonction of your needs as they appears from the initial level evaluation, but changes are possible on daily demands. 2.  A workshop starts with a customized training. 3. The work is individual. The teacheris present to help et explain when necessary. During this training period, we will, all along, follow and check your progress.

*An individual support and accurate advice

*A modern environment: television, DVD player, computer, internet.

*A document certifying you attended our language programme and detailed report on your language skills (diagnosis and advices) will be given to you at the end of your training programme.
