French Teenage Summer Courses: Cannes 12 to 17 yrs

In total there are 36 language lessons over 2 weeks (unless a day is lost to a public holiday). This is equal to a term of contact lessons at most UK schools and you are immersed in France, speaking French with native French speaking teachers and the group leaders (who help organise the social activities each week). The French language college in Cannes offers French courses with other teenage language students, who have a similar French language level. Students are immersed in France, speaking French with native French speaking teachers and the “animateurs” (who help organise the social activities each week) and are encouraged to socialise and make the most of their time in France.

Teaching concentrates on grammar work and the development of oral and written skills through entertaining and motivational classroom activities, across a wide range of language levels. The teaching approach aims to stimulate young students, engaging their interest in the French language and improves their knowledge of French culture. Learning tools include songs, films, comic strips or other current documents of interest to stimulate student interest and to keep the lessons dynamic. Emphasis is placed on oral skills and developing linguistic self-confidence in an international student environment.

Social activities provide contrast and bring an additional element of fun to the overall programme. The French language school staff in Cannes are aware that the students are on holiday and therefore do all they can to ensure students enjoy their French experience, both in and outside the classroom.

The additional classes are perfect for those who wish to use this chance for extra practise in the French language so that they can improve their oral skills. These classes focus on oral skills to encourage students to speak out.
