Who is this program for?
This program is designed for adults planning to live or study in France and aiming to achieve the A2 level of French — the minimum level required for a long-stay visa or residence permit renewal.
Students must hold a secondary school diploma and have a false beginner level in French, ranging from A0(50) to A1(25). This level will be confirmed through an eLAO placement test at registration.
Course objectives
- Acquire new linguistic foundations (grammar – vocabulary – conjugation) to express oneself both orally and in writing.
- Strengthen skills through comprehensive practice of the five competences: speaking, listening, reading, writing, and interaction.
- Improve oral and written comprehension and gain fluency in spoken French.
Learning goals
In just 12 weeks, this program enables students to progress from A1 to solid A2-level proficiency according to the CEFR. It follows a structured communicative, grammatical, and lexical progression for fast and effective learning.
Students will learn to:
- Communicate in everyday life: introduce themselves, ask for information, handle simple administrative tasks.
- Understand and produce short texts: read ads, write messages, and describe simple situations.
- Interact socially: take part in basic conversations, give and follow directions.
- Narrate and describe: talk about past experiences, plans, and describe surroundings.
