Training content
Organization
You’ll take general French classes and workshops during every session.
You will also be asked to do individual work, either on your own or with friends, in library or in a friendly setting, to help you build your independence and confidence in French. Trainers will accompany you if you work at the center, by appointment only.
Each month, we offer a totally immersive social activity. Our aim is to open you up to life in Paris and France, and to their cultures.
What we work on together
- Debates in French society.
- Life in Paris and France.
- Your imagination & intuition.
- Written and oral comprehension: What you understand.
- Written and oral production: What you think, how you said and write it.
- Exchange, share your feelings, your point of view in the respect of each one.
Evaluation
Two evaluation formats will be offered:
- in an evaluation grid, using which only the skills worked on are assessed, by degree of acquisition,
- in grades, i.e. on performance. Graded assessment takes place at the end of each session, using the DELF format.
Progression
What a CEFR level mean?
Levels A1 to C1, defined by the CEFR, enable our trainers to organize your progress as effectively as possible. Each level corresponds to an arrival point.
For example, when you’re at A1, it doesn’t mean that you’ve reached level A1, but that level A1 is your first step in your relationship with the French language.
Sample route | I choose 3 sessions
Start
End
Explanation: I’m a rookie in French, I’m starting at A1, which is my first goal. During the second session I validate A2 level. At the last session, I validate B1.1 level. So in 3 sessions, without speaking French at the beginning, I can communicate efficiently.
If I want to go even further, I can re-enroll and continue in B1.2 up to B2.3, ready to take the DELF B2. I also have the possibility to go to a DELF Preparation.
Rest
If you’re a keen sportsman, you’ll need to take some time off. You need it too. A week’s vacation is also offered after every session, because the body (and especially the brain) also needs a rest. There is no classe in August and the last two weeks of December.
Repeating a session
Sometimes, during a session, you may find it more difficult to use French, or you may have a little less time to work on it. Re-leveling is perfectly normal and possible. We want you to progress at your own pace, with a solid foundation.
