The School
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 theaters, world famous universities and cultural festivals, which take place all year round. Paris is also of course the capital of fashion and design and internationally renowned for its boutiques, department stores and young designers.
This all-inclusive program offers security, quality teaching, comfort, hygiene and healthy food as well as a great way to discover Paris, make friends with teens from all over the world, practice sports, and have a great time ! The teaching focuses on oral communication, using authentic documents such as songs, TV programs, movies, and magazines. The teachers have compiled a wide range of entertaining and interesting class games and activities to teach grammar, structure, vocabulary and pronunciation.
The main objective of the course is to enable you to transfer communication skills already mastered in your native language to the new language. Oral communication is a priority : learning to listen and understand, to express yourself correctly and with a good pronunciation. The goal is to raise you to an efficient standard of communication which requires not only a perfect command of the language but also a profound understanding of the cultural context.
