Adult & Higher Education

This course is for adults who have studied French to an advanced level, know a lot of theory but want to consolidate and practise putting the theory into real conversations. 

To join at this level, you should have studied the language for about 5 years or even have a rusty A level in the French.

Students will practise their knowledge of the French language and build their confidence using all tenses. They will use all four-language skills (speaking, writing, reading and listening).  

• Each week will have a different theme taken from a French Document. 
• They will learn complex grammatical structures, idiomatic expressions, and sophisticated vocabulary.
• They will explore French culture, humour, and references to present yourself when speaking.

To join this level, you will need to:

• have a good knowledge of present, past, future and conditional tenses
• be able to hold a general conversation about most topics and have the enthusiasm to engage in conversations
• have an interest in French culture

Please contact us if you have any questions regarding your suitability for this course.

Text books will be discussed at the start of the course. Please bring a pen and paper and a folder for your notes.

We offer a Semester 2 course that begins immediately after Semester 1 and is an integral part of the course, the exact length of which will be decided in the spring term. You would then be able to progress to the next level.
