The monthly online courses in general French and oral expression are designed to allow students to improve their mastery of French in both written and spoken form. These online courses are an attractive option for those who wish to learn French in a flexible way, while benefiting from comprehensive training.
General French courses via videoconference are a major component of this offering, covering a wide range of topics, including grammar, conjugation, spelling, vocabulary, and the approach to literary texts. These courses are designed to help students strengthen their French skills in a comprehensive way, whether written or spoken, and are adapted to different levels (intermediate or advanced) to meet the individual needs of learners.
Another essential aspect of these online courses is the teaching of phonetics via videoconference. Students thus have the opportunity to improve their pronunciation, oral comprehension, and expression through sessions led by specialists in applied linguistics. It should be remembered that a good command of phonetics is essential to communicate effectively in French and to understand the language accurately.
The reinforcement of oral expression via videoconference offers students a dynamic and interactive learning environment where they can practice communicating in French in real-life situations. This prepares them to interact effectively in various contexts, whether within the company, during social gatherings, or in academic situations.
Course Objectives
- Acquire a solid foundation in grammar, vocabulary, and conjugation.
- Strengthen the five language skills: speaking, understanding, reading, writing, and interacting.
