Our Methodology
It has long been recognised that students make more rapid progress in their studies when they enjoy what they are doing, and all our French courses for teens are structured around the kind of up-to-date, motivating topics that appeal to teenage students.
Our dynamic and interactive teaching approach means that each lesson is designed to be practical, interesting, and enjoyable, and to encourage interaction and communication, with ample opportunities for each student to participate and to be actively involved in the lessons. Our different syllabuses are constantly revised and updated to ensure that we keep abreast of the changing needs of our students, and always deliver courses that are relevant to their needs and expectations.

Our 'spiral learning' method enables each student to constantly reuse and re info rce what he/she has learnt, thus naturally laying solid foundations on which to build overall competence.
Classes focus on developing the four skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing - though special emphasis is put on spoken language to help each student develop strong communicative language skills, and boost his/her confidence and fluency in the language.
Individual and team project work, role-plays, language development exercises, and communicative activities, audio visual aids and multimedia tools form an integral part of our programme. By way of encouraging students to use their language skills to express their ideas and thoughts, these provide an excellent medium through which students can consolidate what they have learnt before, and further develop their writing and oral communication skills.
While the general emphasis is on oral skills and learning to communicate in the target language, students are also introduced to the grammar and to the written form, but always through an interactive activity: it is introduced naturally as part of the process of learning to communicate.

A stimulating programme specially designed to encourage the spontaneous and natural use of French, and boost your child's French skills in an interactive setting!
Our comprehensive Summer Immersion programme is designed around the theme "Let's Visit France". It is structured to mirror a holiday in France , incorporating not only language input but also cultural activities aimed at enhancing your child's knowledge of France through the discovery of its people, customs, food, tourist sites and aspects of everyday life.
The session is divided into two sections: a lesson section, during which your child lays the foundations for the second section, learning the necessary vocabulary, and putting the language into practice for the different situations; an activity section, consisting of role-play, stimulating activities, including team project work, computer-based tasks, multimedia tools, a journal, and more - all performed in French with the aim of giving your child a similar experience to that which he/she would have if he/she were to visit the country.
This comprehensive immersion course is specifically designed to offer your child extended opportunities to practice the four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing, reinforce his/her existing language, and progress at a much faster pace, while having fun! |

• We only employ experienced native-language teachers who hold internationally recognised teaching qualification.
• We go a step further than others by only entrusting our Exam Revision classes to teachers with extensive prior exam revision experience and syllabus knowledge ; this produces the best revision results and proves highly effective in helping our students to achieve their full potential.

The various stimulating activities provide an excellent medium through which your child can reinforce what he/she is learning in class, develop vocabulary, improve pronunciation and communicative abilities, and build confidence.
• Private or Semi-Private Tuition is also available . Lessons can be organised on the day and at the time of your choice (subject to teacher's availability), either at our premises in Central, or in the comfort of your home. We can also help you arrange your own private group
