CONTENT
First, evaluate your skill level.
It is possible to check according to
the following list. Then, when you
will arrive in Lyons,
we will refine your skill level by giving you a written exam
followed by an interview.
You are:
Complete beginner (A0)
If you have no knowledge of the French
language. (Be careful:
do not consider
yourself as a beginner if you
have already learned French,
even a little). |
If
you haven't started any training
in your country (in what is
called a 'Centre Culturel', at
the Alliance Française or any
other school):
• You can either come as an
individual and be part of the
beginners group opened in
October, January, April or July.
• Or you already belong to a
group built up by your school or
your company. In this case,
special courses will be
organised for your group. |
Elementary (A1 - A2)
If your knowledge of French is limited, incomplete,
or out-of-date.
Your oral skills are unsatisfactory. You have a
school knowledge of the language, more based on
writing skills than oral ones. |
You will study
fundamental French: elementary grammar, basic
vocabulary, highlighting French on a practical and
oral level.
Aim: being able to communicate in multiple
situations of the daily life. |
Intermediate (B1 -
B2)
If you studied French recently or you are studying
it. You understand fundamental French.
If you studied for:
• At least 400 hours you are 'Moyen 1'
• Betwen 400 and 600 hours, you are 'Moyen 2'
• More than 600 hours, you are 'Moyen 3'. |
You will reinforce your oral
and writing skills: sysematization of grammar structures,
reading and analysing literary and non-literary texts (press,
advertisement).
You will also have classes about the French civilization
and its main themes. |
Advanced (C1 - C2)
If you master the main grammatical structures, while
speaking or writing, and know how to use it: your
vocabulary is rich, your expression and
communication is fluent and easily understandable. |
You will improve your
writing: techniques of formal writing, textual analysis,
translation of articles treating on economic, social,
political or cultural issues. Your oral expression will be
refined in complex and specialized situations close to
social and professional ones. |
