DESCRIPTION

These slides present higher education possibilities in France, through the Campus France organisation and its close links with accredited French language schools, under the banner of associations like Groupement FLE. Learn more about degree courses sought after by their clients and the possibilities of learning French, and also the problems linked with mobility towards France and obtaining visas. Viewers might also be interested in our article "More English instruction slated for France" found here: http://bit.ly/1Adsqb2. The renowned French protectiveness of their culture and language has come into conflict with the role of English as the lingua franca of business and science in a brewing controversy involving a potential increase in English language university instruction. Our article looks at both sides of the question and considers potential ramifications for international mobility.
