How do we work?
All the levels
All courses follow the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) levels from A0 to C2.
After an individual written and oral placement test, students are divided into groups consisting of a maximum of 18 students.
The activities offered are based on excerpts from textbooks or on documents created by teachers, with a preference for authentic documents: these include excerpts from newspaper articles, videos, radio, literary texts, the press – national, French-speaking or local –, blogs, advertisements, songs, posters, excerpts from films, TV series, clips, short films and trailers.
Our approach
The teaching style is predominantly based on a communicative approach and an action-oriented focus: there are many interactions in and out of class such as informal discussions, oral presentations, press reviews and short dissertation presentations. Similarly, students are offered individual or collaborative projects to allow them to apply what they have learned outside the classroom.
Over the course of each half-year, each group organises educational or cultural outings that propose projects and/or cultural field trips. Some groups went to taste local produce at Les Halles, others discovered the Emmaüs village in Lescar, while working on recycling. Some groups visited the Basque village of Espelette or the Guédot farm in Rébénacq.
The higher the CEFR level, the more students benefit from specific courses with specialised discourse. These are the Cultural Knowledge and/or Disciplinary courses: literature, cinema, history and geography, French songs, art history, French for University Purposes, etc.
