Please note that the procedure for arrivals is after 18:00 on Sunday and on Saturday mornings for departures. 3 solutions are possible - Half-board: you stay with a homestay family and it includes breakfast and dinner; you have lunch elsewhere and can not use your host’s kitchen. This type of accommodation encourages linguistic and cultural immersion. - Bed & breakfast: you stay with a homestay family and it includes breakfast; you have your other meals elsewhere and you can not use the kitchen unless they agree. This kind of accommodation is recommended for people who want to be independent - contact with your host family is rather limited. - Room with access to the kitchen: you stay with a homestay family and no meals are provided, but you have access to the kitchen to prepare your own meals - you and your host decide on what times you can use the kitchen. This kind of accommodation is recommended for people who want to be independent and/or have a special diet. - Private apartments Furnished apartments with equipped kitchen, linen kit supplied, no cleaning included. A 5 minute walk from the town center or right in the center, and a 10 minute walk from the school. METHODS The use of varied methods encourages communication: debates, presentations, role-playing, exercises in written expression, tests and dialog. The teaching materials, in the form of authentic documents (press, documentary films, audio extracts, illustrations), provide a concrete approach to living French. A primary goal is to enable students to express themselves as easily as possible for a personal and/or professional goal, to gain autonomy in their communication. For this reason the teaching focus essentially on oral communication based on real situations, as the starting point for written expression, grammar and vocabulary.
