“Sorties pédagogiques”: Lessons outside the classroom – Walking in Paris lessons

Since the creation of ACCORD School, the “sorties pédagogiques” (Lessons outside the classroom – Walking in Paris lessons) have been an important part of the school syllabus as they complement the French lessons students follow in the classroom.
At ACCORD Paris, we follow the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) for teaching and assessing French as a foreign language, and we place our students in groups based on the levels defined by this framework.

Our teaching method includes taking into account the language needs and learning strategies of each student.
Our main aim is to recreate real-life situations where you will be able to put your French to practical use and develop your learning strategies, enabling you to use the communication skills you already have in your native language when speaking French.

Our ultimate goal is to help you reach a level of fluency where you will be able to communicate efficiently and effectively in French. To achieve this you will need both a strong command of the language and an in-depth understanding of French culture.

This is why “sorties pédagogiques” (Lessons outside the classroom – Walking in Paris lessons), which are an integral part of the course you book, are regularly organised so that students are placed in an authentic environment, enabling them to practice what they have learnt in the classroom whilst exploring Paris and its culture, as well as getting a better understanding of living in Paris.
For example, if you book our morning course “A” (20 hours per week), you may spend one of the morning lessons in a “sortie pédagogique”.

Since the creation of ACCORD School, the “sorties pédagogiques” (Lessons outside the classroom – Walking in Paris lessons) have been an important part of the school syllabus. They are organised to support the programmes taught in class and are an integral element of the school’s teaching method as it encourages students to practice outside a standard classroom environment.

Beyond studying French in a classroom, the lessons outside the classroom give students the opportunity to exchange and practice in a real-life context. These Walking in Paris lessons prepared by our teachers encourage oral communication and a direct contact within the social and cultural Parisian environment. They contribute and support the process of learning and improving our students’ French language skills by encouraging them to better understand the French and their daily life. These lessons outside the classroom are also an opportunity for our students to explore and understand the Parisian environment, as well as question, compare and stimulate their curiosity as they are invited to enquire, speak and listen.

Oral communication is a priority in our pedagogy, and this is why we don’t use traditional books/methods: learning to listen, understand, speak and express yourself naturally and appropriately, with fluency and correct pronunciation and intonation.

What is a “sortie pédagogique”?
A “sortie pédagogique” (Lessons outside the classroom – Walking in Paris lessons) consists of a visit accompanied by our French teachers of specific areas or sites of Paris, for example,
– The Passsages Couverts Parisiens
– La rue Montorgueil and French Gastronomy
– The Jardin du Palais Royal and the Comédie Francaise
– The Cimetière du Père Lachaise
– The Musée Carnavalet,
– Montmartre and its secrets, etc.

Our recommendation:
If you need to improve more intensively your oral French, select one or the two afternoon lessons dedicated to French Oral Communication, on Mondays and Fridays.

Full Immersion French language programs

The best thing for you, coming to Paris, will already be to benefit from total immersion. You will listen to Parisians talking to you in French, you will answer them in French, and even if you have little French vocabulary, don’t worry, Parisians will repeat the words you don’t understand, they will explain them to you with others words, and they will always do their best to understand you and be understood by you.

Please note that Paris being one of the most visited cities in the world, Parisians meet a lot of tourists all year round and when they hear your accent they may be more inclined to speak with you in English, even if you are German or Spanish. We recommend you explain them that you are here to learn French and that you want to speak and make yourself understand in French. You will see that Parisians very much appreciate being able to help a foreigner in French.

Paris, the famous “City of Lights”, …Sight-seeing, Parisian culture, …and French Food!

There are three things you should not (and will not) miss while selecting one of the ACCORD French Intensive Language Programs in Paris to study French in France: sight-seeing, Parisian culture and French food!

Seight-seeing
Have an unforgettable experience whilst you study French at ACCORD Paris. You will enjoy Paris even more as you are progressing in French!
Famous for its rich history, beautiful architecture and cultural diversity, Paris remains one of the most visited cities in the world. Paris has always been a hive of artistic and intellectual activity with its 134 museums, 170 theatres, world famous universities and cultural festivals, which take place all year round. Maybe you’ve heard of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa painting? Don’t look somewhere else, it’s in Paris, it’s in the Louvre museum!

Paris is divided in “arrondissements” and each arrondissement has its own monuments and places worth visiting. There are 5431 streets across the city, each one with a story of its own, relating to the history of France, its artists, scientists and saints. The Left Bank and the Latin Quarter is the heart of the city for the young Parisians. Don’t miss out on other fascinating areas such as Bastille, Montmartre, Pigalle, the Champs Elysées and the Ile de la Cité.

Parisian culture
Of course, Paris is also the capital of fashion and design and is internationally renowned for its boutiques, department stores and young designers. You will see that the lifestyle of the Parisian is totally different from that of other cities in France. This is because the culture is also different. The French capital offers many various tourist activities that are part of its culture. During your stay in Paris, you can discover facets of Parisian culture that are interesting and above all special. The culture that can be seen in the capital of France is authentic. Paris therefore stands out from all the other cities in the country due to the fact that it has a very strong cultural identity.

In addition to the must-see places in Paris, you can also attend shows organized in the city. On this point, you have a very wide choice according to your tastes. For this, you can go to the Opéra Garnier and Bastille, the Parc des Princes, the Olympia or even the Grand Rex cinema.
And Nightlife is also part of the culture in Paris!

French food
France is the country of wine and gastronomy, and one rarely goes without the other. This particular attention to the pleasures of the table is found in everyday life. The French are very attached to the three meals of the day. Traditionally, breakfast is eaten when you wake up, lunch around 1 p.m. and dinner around 8 p.m. In France, the meal is considered an art of living and a ritual of happiness.

The bistro is a real Parisian institution and differs from the simple café in that these establishments used to be managed during the last century by wine merchants.

And also, don’t forget to talk to your classmates. They will also have ideas of what they want to do after class, maybe have a café or a croque-monsieur in a typical French bistro, or go to a jazz club rue des Lombards. We are sure they’ll want you to go with them!
