  • Overview

    The main objective of the course is to provide students with educational materials and resources (depending on the level) necessary for them to express themselves through a short series of expressions or easy sentences (daily life, asking questions, discussion on familiar topics, speaking in public, efficiently and fluently); to understand and use common expressions (understand what people say at different speed and with different accents, use traditional politeness and welcome expressions); categorize information taken in a written document to be able to use it; express their opinion and answer precise questions; better understand French culture.
     
    Educational methods: the 5 linguistic skills are covered: listening, speaking, reading, writing and oral interaction. The educational method focuses on practice: grammatical exercises with multiple examples and oral practice; dictation; listening to oral materials with increasingly difficult characteristics; discussions, presentations and debates; role play; writing short essays and summaries.
     
    **Course is taught in French, however, some grammatical aspects may be explained in English**
