our objectives

Our pedagogy is oriented mainly towards the communication and the accomplishment of “tasks“, our classes are alive and always put forward activities of language communication to allow you to use French adequately, right out of the class.

Our goal is to push you to TALK, LISTEN, WRITE, READ, INTERACT, always in a concern of communication. Linguistic and / or grammatical accuracy is not the priority in the French language course, only the ability you have to express yourself will allow us to take into account your level of French and your progress.

However, we do not neglect what is the basis of French namely syntactic and grammatical rules or phonetics. All this is approached in a playful and always pragmatic way, always anchoring the examples in concrete situations of everyday life.

In order to ensure everyone’s progress, the teaching teams regularly organize continuous tests:

one at the end of each week to validate your good progress and avoid the stall
one at the end of each level to validate your ability to take courses in the upper level.

our innovative methodology

Cooperative Language Learning is based on the practice of the language in real-life situations, using many different classroom environments.(In the classroom, outside of the class, on the FL Online platform, on the Mooc offered by FL).
The use of all the teaching technologies and methodologies available creates a complete experience with a full support for the learner.
