Standard Course

Morning classes from Monday to Friday.
20 group lessons of 45 minutes each = 15 hours of weekly classes.

The objective of this course is to provide you with the vocabulary and the grammar tools that are essential to communicate in French through focusing on the five aspects that are necessary to learn a language: Oral comprehension, oral expression, oral interaction, written comprehension and written expression.

Little by little, you will be able to talk about yourself, your everyday life and your environment, but also about your past experiences, your projects and your wishes, and then to express your feelings, your doubts and your opinion on different topics. You will be able to understand the people you speak with and to use your grammar and vocabulary knowledge in practical situations.

To reach these objectives our teachers use a wide range of teaching materials, for example telling you about French cultural and social idiosyncrasies or current affairs.

Intensive 20+6 Course

In addition to the Standard course, 6 group lessons are organised on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.
26 group lessons of 45 minutes = 19h30 of weekly classes.

This course is based on comprehension, expression and oral interaction. The objective is to give you the opportunity to speak more while using the language tools you have acquired. To reach this objective you will deal with a different topic each week and talk, discuss and debate. This class does not deal with any aspect of grammar.

Intensive 20+10 Course

In addition to the Intensive 20+6 course, 4 additional group lessons are organised on Wednesday afternoon.
30 group lessons of 45 minutes = 22h30 of weekly classes.

The objective of this course is to give you the opportunity to speak more while learning in a different way. This course is developed as a workshop: for example, you might do drama, make a video, take some photos, write a poem, analyse some artwork or an exhibition, discover French comics and literature, meet some French craftsmen and artists, take part in a writing workshop or even sing in French.

Combined 20+5 Course

In addition to the Standard course, 5 one-to-one lessons are organised in the afternoons.
20 group lessons of 45 minutes = 15h, 5 one-to-one lessons of 45 minutes = 3h45, for a total of 18h45 of weekly classes.

With this option you can work on some specific topics and focus on your particular needs (vocabulary, grammar or phonetics…). The course is tailored to your own needs. Your teacher will help you, advise you and correct you in a totally personalised way.

LSF offers a specific training programme for French teachers living and working out of France (primary school, high school, college). It is available all year long and the minimum level required for teachers is B1 according to the CECR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). Before arrival at LSF, teachers will take a level test and will then be placed in a class adapted to their needs.

The objective of this course is to give teachers the keys to help them develop the writing and oral skills of their students whilst learning new methods for the preparation of their courses. All the activities in class allow the teachers to familiarise themselves with the French language and culture and to facilitate the teaching methods used for a specific grammar point.

In addition to the 20 Standard group lessons in the morning, students take specific group lessons some afternoons which are specially designed for French teachers.
20 Standard group lessons of 45 minutes each in the morning (15 hours)
+ 10 specific group lessons of 45 minutes each 3 afternoons per week (3x2h30)
= 22h30 of French classes per week.

In the mornings teachers follow the Standard course at their appropriate level. They develop their grammatical and communication skills, enrich their vocabulary and get new ideas and learn new teaching techniques by observing the LSF teachers.
In the afternoons, teachers follow specific classes which are organised as lively workshops where each participant is encouraged to participate actively, exchanging experiences and teaching methods.
On top of that, teachers students are invited to the one-hour exchange of practice organised each week by the LSF teachers, so that they can talk with each other, exchange and find new ideas.

LSF uses the task-based approach. Thanks to this method, students develop the five skills of the CECR (Speaking, Writing, Listening, Reading comprehension, Oral interaction). For every important grammar point, this course offers activities specially designed to study this lesson. A wide range of activities are proposed, only based on authentic documents (media, press, photos, films, internet, songs, games…) for non-French speakers from beginner level (A1) to the C1 level (according to the CECR). At the end of the course, teachers will get a full range of turnkey activities adapted to the levels they are teaching.
