French Intermediate ( B1/B1+)

Next term starting on Tuesday 9th January 2024

Where and when does it take place?

Tuesdays from 1pm to 2.30pm UK time on Zoom (online).

What happens in the class :

The objective of each class is to get you to speak as much as possible.

Develop your fluency in French naturally through self-directed activities completed before each lesson and conversations in groups of 2-3 people. You will receive help and advice from a qualified and native French teacher with 18 years of experience.

A week before the class, practice at your own pace, through authentic videos, readings and interactive exercises. You will be given tasks to prepare for the conversations. Independent activities to do in advance of each class will help you to develop autonomy and consolidate learning.

The live online classes are devoted to oral practice, problem solving and discussion.

Experimenting with your use of the language or making mistakes is encouraged and is seen as an important part of the learning process.

There are no formal examinations and no textbooks.

The class is limited to 8 students.

The flipped classroom method is used to help you gain in autonomy and confidence. Click here to know more about this method.
