Training content of Intensive French Course
General course
Our intensive French lessons give you the chance to strengthen your French skills through engaging, theme-based learning. We use L’atelier (2nd edition, 2022-2023), a modern and comprehensive textbook that reflects updates in DELF exams and introduces new learning strategies.
These courses are more than grammar and vocabulary. Each lesson is a chance to explore real-life situations, build confidence, and enjoy the learning process. Students often describe our classes as spaces of curiosity, creativity, and meaningful progress.
Workshop
Workshops are where the language comes alive. They focus on improving performance skills through activities such as acting, singing, theater, and debates.
We also offer DELF preparation workshops at B1 level and above, focusing on the exact exam skills needed: comprehension, production, and interactive tasks.
Workshops don’t just teach you the language, they let you live it.
Self-Training
On average, students have to spend 3 hours per week working independently, using the workbook provided with the main textbook. This time reinforces what you’ve learned in class and helps develop long-term study habits.
Our trainers are available to guide you with personalized advice, making self-study an integral part of your success.
Final exam
During each session, you will complete assignments and practical productions. Teachers evaluate your work with a skills-based grid, assessing the degree of acquisition for each competency.
At the end of the 8-week session, you will take a final exam in the DELF format, covering all four skills (listening, reading, writing, speaking). This graded assessment gives you a clear picture of your progress and prepares you for official DELF exams.
Progress and Outcomes
FTC Paris has designed the Intense Session with one goal: visible, sustainable progress every 8 weeks.
Between each session, you enjoy a one-week break to recharge your batteries before moving to the next target.
“I wanted to start speaking French. I knew a few words, but not much more. After five sessions, I reached B2.1 and felt ready to work in France. With Intense Plus, I prepared for the DELF exam and improved my pronunciation.”
— Jane, FTC Paris Student
