France Langue, a rewarding and effective method
Our academic methodology is based on ACTIVE LEARNING, TAILOR-MADE programmes and
INDIVIDUAL LEARNING SUPPORT of our students.
France Langue has developed a method and a pace of progression as well as tailored activities so that students can reach their
individual objectives according to the CEFR* (around 100 hours for levels A1 & A2, 150 hours from level B1).
Immersion begins in our classrooms: students put the language into practice to
draw on their knowledge, skills and refl exes to use in real situations. Students
are constantly interacting in both written and oral French and are therefore
active in their learning.The working atmosphere in our France Langue schools
is both friendly and serious; the pace is dynamic and steady to actively develop
the language skills of students. From the point of view of our students, this
means, « I’m learning, I’m enjoying learning, I’m actively participating so I’m
progressing ».
Teaching materials used in class include recent books, audio and video
documents, newspaper articles, internet resources, literature and material
specifi cally developed by our teachers.
Activities promote communication so that students can adapt themselves
to different types of situation (day-to-day, educational, social, economic or
professional).
Classes are organised according to levels (all 6 levels of the Common
European Framework of Reference for Languages are represented in our
schools) and learning objectives, making sure of a good nationality mix.
