What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?
This Level 3 Upper French course is designed for students with approximately five years of French study or an equivalent level. A good level of French is expected, as the course will be delivered entirely in French.
Learners should feel comfortable engaging with spoken and written French and be ready to further develop their listening, speaking, and cultural understanding skills.
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 work, group work, role plays and games. A range of resources will be used to support your learning including presentations, hand-outs, and audio-visual material. Homework is highly recommended to consolidate learning.
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?
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.
