| Course description |
Foundation French Language 3 is a communicative course aimed at developing your understanding and production of the language at CEFR level A2/B1. The course is composed of 2 classes per week. Each class is made up of a Self Study part and a live tutorial on Zoom (access via link sent by tutor)
The Self Study part allows you to start working through the course material independently using the Course Dossier and to prepare for the live session with your tutor and classmates. The latter will give you the opportunity to consolidate your understanding and your use of new linguistic content. Focusing on Listening and Speaking skills, it will give you the opportunity to practice the language with your peers (in small activity groups) on a variety of everyday topics such as talking about your past experiences and events and expressing opinion, as well as discussing selected movies.
