Long term study in immersion: Courses

The two options differ only in the frequency of the lessons. The standard course generally takes place is the morning and the intensive course includes additional class periods in the afternoon. The theoretical elements taught are aimed at being put into practice in everyday life. The classes are based on a communicative methodology which calls for the recollection of meaning. In this way, numerous topics of general interest (history, current affairs, culture, politics, society, business etc.) are dealt with progressively as the knowledge of the students increases.

The standard course is based on the general learning of the language: written (comprehension and production) and oral (comprehension and expression).
This type of course suits students who wish to expand their knowledge whilst having the possibility to practise it outside the school context. The frequeny is ideal for those who wish potentially to find a job on the side or to have more free time.

The intensive course is developed on the same basis as the standard course but distinguishes itself by the following aspects: the work pace is steadier and the subjects are studied in a more in-depth way. The afternoons give way to a more communication teaching approach, complementary to the more technical course content of the morning. Notably, more optional and conversational topics are dealt with. The intensive course is ideal fo students who wish to progress quickly.

Luxury! This course gives you the benefit of one-to-one, personalised teaching. The teacher is at your service, you study what you specifically need. at your level, at your pace! The one-to-one classes may be taken within the school or in the teacher's home.

Exams which attest to your language skills are recognised throughout the world and in this way, represent a strong asset for the future. Each exam distinguishes itself by the specific requirements and modalities. For this reason, our partner schools propose specialised exam preparation courses.

This course not only develops your language level and your ease of expression but also your communication skills in professional lif, for example to participate in meetings, have a telephone conversation or write reports and business letters. These classes are combined with general language classes.

(financial, medical, legal, industrial, commercial, telecommunications...). These courses have the aim to base the language studies on a precise area. They treat the specificities of a domain of activity such as technical vocabulary, jargon, correspondance etc. Increasingly more appreciated by professionals, specific courses offer the possibility to acquire necessary skills for the carrying out of your profession as well in the foreign language as in your own language.

Following a general language course, the option is offered to students to reinforce their acquired knowledge within the framework of an internship. The work experience placement is adapted to your level and to your domain of activity. This combination represents a fabulous opportunity to discover the working world in other countries through practice.

Initial training

In order to obtain a recognised title of language teacher, some schools propose complete training which includes a refresher language course as well as the acquisition of various teaching techniques.

Continuing training

Some of our partner schools propose continuing training courses for language teachers. These courses are an excellent way for teachers to expand their linguistic and didactic knowledge. The world of teaching being in constant development, these courses allow you to keep direct contact with new methodologies and to share your experiences with other qualified teachers.

A language is the reflection of a civilisation. During the learning of a language, one discovers various aspects linked to the culture to which it belongs, making a language study stay the ideal place to catch its essence. Language + culture courses offer the best possibility to combine language learning with cultural discoveries (e.g. Art history, gastronomy...).

If you wish to improve a language by means of one-to-one classes in total immersion, the best method is to take private intensive classes by staying in the teacher's home. In this way, you can practise the language from morning to evening in the home of a language learning professional. You teacher will get to know your strengths and weaknesses well and will be able to direct the teaching in order to respond as effectively as possible to your needs. You may, like in the setting of a one-to-one course, ask you teacher to direct his/her teaching on a particular subject. Please contact us for a detailed price offer.
