Capturing the essence of an era through a selection of objects, words, images and sounds: this is what we’ll hope to achieve, over three afternoons, in these workshops designed for upper intermediate learners of French. Join us and practice your French in a different way, discussing history, art and culture.
Please note that this workshop will be delivered in French.

This course is designed to practise your French language skills using stimulating authentic material, to introduce you to works by French thinkers and artists which you may wish to explore further on your own or in one of our classes later on.
What will we cover?
Each workshop will include a variety of materials produced in France during a decade: literary excerpts, songs, films, newsreels from the time, works of art, fashion and design images, new consumer products and technological inventions…
Each material will be briefly introduced by the tutor, key vocabulary will be provided, then learners will have the opportunity to analyse it in small groups and to discuss their ideas as a class.
What will I achieve? By the end of this course you should be able to...
- use the language with more confidence - take part in discussions - talk about French culture and history
What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?
Suitable if you have done a French 3 upper or have recently done five years of French, have acquired an upper intermediate level and want to move on to an advanced level.
How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?
Our courses are characterised by spoken interaction and communication. Typical activities include pair and group work. A range of resources will be used to support your learning including presentations, hand-outs, and audio-visual material. No specific homework will be set for this class, although there will be opportunities for subsequent self-study.
This course uses Google Classroom, a digital learning platform where all the teaching and learning resources can be found. Here are some common answers to questions about Google Classroom.
Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?
The course is based on the tutor’s own resources. Learners will be able to take a booklet home for future reference.
When I've finished, what course can I do next?
Any French 3 upper, French 4 or French 5. Please ask your tutor for advice about the best progression for you or contact Languages on languages@citylit.ac.uk
Bonjour! Je m'appelle Anais et je viens d'un petit village près de Nice. I have an MA in Literature, I qualified as a teacher in France before living abroad. I have been teaching French as a foreign language for the past 14 years to students of different age groups. I believe that, above all, learning should be a joy. I provide well-structured, clearly aimed lessons with authentic resources to accommodate various learning profiles and learning preferences. I understand the need for students to build their confidence in a relaxed learning atmosphere, with the right level of challenge, guided by constructive feedback. I encourage my students to carry on learning independently, for e.g. with quality online resources. I like to feel intellectually stimulated. Hopefully, my many interests provide the variety and depth to keep my students interested!
Please note: We reserve the right to change our tutors from those advertised. This happens rarely, but if it does, we are unable to refund fees due to this. Our tutors may have different teaching styles; however we guarantee a consistent quality of teaching in all our courses.
