GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF COURSES
In order as to develop everyone’s knowledge and skills in the best conditions
possible, every language class uses state-of-the-art teaching techniques
and methods. Groups are small (about 20 students) and divided into two
subgroups for oral expression classes and multimedia laboratory hours.
Students can also use a self-learning computer based program called Cid@f
that was developed by our teachers for students to work individually.
French graduate students − called “moniteurs” in French, who are trained to
teach French as a foreign language conduct oral skills classes and language
lab hours. They are always available to help students both in and outside of
the classroom.

The gaol of the survey is to encourage students to interact with French people. The topic of the survey will have a relationship
with France and French people today. Students collect information by engaging a variety of french people (students, shop
keepers, host families, etc) in conversations and exchanges. The survey findings are presented in written form and/or orally.
In September, the advanced level course is particularly recommended for those intending to take classes with French
students at the university during the regular academic year.
NB: Because of the considerable number of contact hours and personal work required. Students are advised not to have a
part time job or to work as an au pair during the course. Class attendance is mandatory.
