Practise speaking and improve general oral production.
Objectives and skills
The main skill targeted is oral production. Depending on the level, the learner will learn to interact in everyday situations, debate, argue, etc.
Methodology
Inspired by the recommendations of the CEFR, these courses are based on a methodological eclecticism inspired by the action-oriented and communicative approaches.
The activities are tailored to the needs and expectations of the learners. For A levels, the objectives are essentially pragmatic: learners will learn to speak through role-playing, simulations, etc. For more advanced learners, they will debate to convince, inform, explain, etc. on a variety of topics chosen by the teacher.

A wide choice of varied authentic documents relating to current events, culture and contemporary French society, selected and taught by the teacher.
A student visa is essential for non-European students coming to study in France. It authorises you to enter France.
If you wish to study for more than three months in France, you will need to apply for a long-stay visa for studies from the French consular services before your departure. We recommend that you register for our courses at least 8 weeks before your arrival in France. As soon as we receive your enrolment form, we will issue you with a certificate of enrolment, which you will need to apply for your visa.
A minimum number of hours per week (15 hours) is required to obtain a visa, you must therefore be enrolled on the intensive course for at least four months as well as additional workshops (if you need more than 20 hours per week).
CAUTION: A tourist visa is valid for 3 months only and you will be obliged to leave France on its expiry date. This visa does not entitle you to a "student" residence permit.
