4 GENERAL FRENCH COURSES STANDARD: From an introduction to fluency in French 20 group lessons of 45 minutes each = 15 hours of classes per week. 10 students maximum per class. The goal of this course is to provide you with the vocabulary and grammar essential to communicating in French by working on the five skills necessary for learning a language: o o o o o oral comprehension oral production oral interaction written comprehension written production. To reach these goals (interaction based on daily life and the news, sharing experiences and opinions), our teachers use a wide variety of teaching aids and the latest digital technology and computer equipment, while introducing you to the cultural and social specificities of France and the French-speaking world and major themes in current events. Every week, LSF provides you with an assessment test so that you can measure your progress and memorise the main points of the week s lessons. For each level, LSF has put together a programme based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages*, allowing you to acquire the speech acts essential to understanding and being understood in French. The detailed programmes are available for reference at the school. (* The CEFR defines methods for learning, teaching and assessing a language and proposes a standardised scale of skills divided into 6 levels.)

5 INTENSIVE : Take your oral skills to the next level In addition to the Standard morning lessons, you will spend two afternoons per week in class. 20 group lessons of 45 minutes each (15h) + 6 group lessons of 45 minutes each two afternoons per week (4h30) = 19h30 of classes per week. The two afternoons of intensive classes are aimed at perfecting your oral skills in French (oral comprehension, production and interaction). All of our intensive courses are designed using interactive digital screens and take place in classrooms equipped with these screens, which means your lessons will be modern, dynamic, lively and, of course, interactive. All the documents used are taken from French-speaking media (videos, radio programmes, reports) and stimulate interaction, discussion and debate. There is no grammar taught in this course, but you will reuse and improve the grammatical tools developed in the standard course: your professor is there to guide you, correct any errors and help you improve your oral communication skills in French. INTENSIVE IMMERSION: A different way to improve your French In addition to the Standard morning lessons, you will spend three afternoons per week in class: two afternoons that correspond to the description above of the Intensive course and a third afternoon. 20 group lessons of 45 minutes each (15h) + 6 group lessons of 45 minutes each two afternoons per week (4h30) + 4 immersive lessons on a third afternoon (3h) = 22h30 of classes per week. The goal of this third afternoon is to get you out of the classroom in order to learn in a different way, on a "do-it-yourself" basis. LSF proposes immersion lessons on various topics such as: theatre, cinema, video, photography, guided tours, treasure hunts, surveys, meetings, conferences, painting, comic books, cooking, music... During these lessons you will get to discover French in various meaningful places in Montpellier together with your teacher.
