France Langue, a rewarding and effective method

France Langue has developed a method and a pace of progression as well as tailored activities so that students can reach their individual objectives according to the CEFR* (around 100 hours for levels A1 & A2, 150 hours from level B1).

Immersion begins in our classrooms: students put the language into practice todraw on their knowledge, skills and refl exes to use in real situations. Studentsare constantly interacting in both written and oral French and are therefore active in their learning. The working atmosphere in our France Langue schools is both friendly and serious; the pace is dynamic and steady to actively develop the language skills of students. From the point of view of our students, this means, « I’m learning, I’m enjoying learning, I’m actively participating so I’m progressing ».

Teaching materials used in class include recent books, audio and video documents, newspaper articles, internet resources, literature and materialspecifi cally developed by our teachers.Activities promote communication so that students can adapt themselves to different types of situation (day-to-day, educational, social, economic or professional).

Classes are organised according to levels (all 6 levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages are represented in our schools) and learning objectives, making sure of a good nationality mix.

Our academic methodology is based on ACTIVE LEARNING, TAILOR-MADE programmes and INDIVIDUAL LEARNING SUPPORT of our students.

With its 20 “arrondissements” (districts) crossed by the River Seine, Paris has everything to seduce and surprise the visitor: from historical monuments, parks and gardens, famous museums and lesser-known sights. However, Paris is also a different way of life: enjoy a croissant at a pavement café, lounge on the banks of the Seine, admire the architecture, head to the market or shops... Whatever you are looking for during your stay, Paris offers you the perfect blend of activities and relaxation!
