COURSE
CONTENT :
|
|
|
The content, length and intensity of the courses are
custom-designed, adapted to the client's level, potential, needs and
requirements, with or without specific orientation or terminology.
We see our educational job not only in the straight linguistic
teaching and the technical transfer of some foreign language
proficiency, but also in the development of the necessary
intercultural mindset for real communication skills.
Therefore we coach our trainees also in specifically French economic,
political, social and cultural facts.
We familiarize them with typical French peculiarities and traits
combined and interwoven with a thorough training in general French
language proficiency covering:
- progressive acquisition of vocabulary and
idiomatic expressions
- syntax, grammar, structures of formal and
everyday language
- phonetic and phonic exercises
- "pattern drills " to facilitate accuracy,
ease and fluency in speaking and listening.
We also offer - depending on program
or upon request - some supplementary, extracurricular activities.

COURSE
PLACE : |
|
|
Our fully equipped, functional classrooms are
individually spread over the French Riviera (with a choice between
Menton and Cannes, (upon request and
depending on availability, but mainly in Nice) and are situated mostly at our teachers
homes or at carefully selected private homes.
Each participant is therefore the only "student" in "his school"
with no possibility of meeting other participants and "breaking out"
of the French frame.
We also "export" our highly experienced and well trained instructors
individually or as a team for In-company Courses or Seminars and for
private lessons "à domicile" along the French Riviera but also world
wide.

TEACHING TEAM :
|
|
|
The teams are well adjusted to working together and
used to one another. They comprise instructors of a wide variety of
professional backgrounds and extensive teaching experience at all
levels.
Each participant is allocated a dedicated teaching team of two up to
four trainers for the duration of his stay.
Size and constitution will vary not only depending upon the training
requirements for the participants, the chosen program and its
content but also in terms of compatibility of personality. |
