Description: The French language program offers small group classes for students to improve their language skills and increase their knowledge of the foreign culture in an individualized learning environment. Each French class consists of 4 or 5 students whose language level is similar and who are placed in host families living in proximity to the tutor. This is a multilevel French language course. Students who compose a group can be of a different nationality. They are especially interested in making specific progress in language skills, while taking this opportunity to live with a local family.

Participants meet with their tutor (in the tutor's home or in a nearby facility) Monday through Friday. Mornings French classes are held (36 hours tuition in total), 4 days a week. Classes focus on pronunciation, comprehension and grammatical structures. Tutor and students have lunch together and then spend afternoons on field trips and activities.

Tutors are chosen for their competence in teaching French, for their good relationship with young people and their enthusiasm for sharing their culture. They follow a curriculum outline provided by Nacel and are encouraged to be creative in adapting the French language course to the needs of their individual student's language levels.

Highlights: Learn French with Nacel! Our French Language Course in France offers a unique combination of French language classes, speech practice and immersion in a host family.In many cases parents encourage this type of language program as their child achieves more concrete progress in a structured program than in a family stay. Scheduled field trips and excursions are also very attractive!
