French courses
Levels of French
Courses open to all levels, from complete beginner to advanced.
On their first Monday morning, Children take a placement test in written and spoken French, to be placed in the class of their level.
We try to mix classes so there are students of a similar age and different nationalities.
Course timetable
French lessons: 20 lessons/week (15 hours/week)
Classes take place in the morning, from 9:00 to 12:00
Maximum 15 students per multinational class (average 11)
Teaching method
“Play and Learn”: this is how Children and Teens describe the ACCORD’s teaching methodology. ACCORD teaching focuses on oral communication using authentic documents such as songs, TV programs, movies and magazines.
ACCORD teachers have compiled a wide range of games and activities that make the learning of grammar, structure, vocabulary and pronunciation interesting and fun.
The teachers, all University graduates, are fully qualified in the teaching of French as a foreign language. They are experienced in teaching French to children.
Certificate
On the last day of their stay, Children will be given an end of course certificate, stating their level and the number of hours of French they have studied, and the progress made during their course.
Transfer
An ACCORD transfer service is available on request.
Visits, cultural activities and sports
On Monday morning, Children register for the activities of their choice among the many options available, such as badminton, table tennis, volleyball, football, basket-ball, face-painting, etc. and they get the details of the visits in Paris organised during the week.
The ACCORD staff members in charge of the Teens have the official BAFA/BAFD degrees (Brevets d’Aptitude aux Fonctions d’Animateur – or de Directeur).
