At L’Atelier 9 French language school in Paris, our aim is to offer high quality French language courses for all levels. We are centrally located in the heart of the city. Our courses combine linguistic instruction and cultural workshops in order to share knowledge of French language and culture, and to help promote their diffusion throughout the world.
Our method is based on the communicative aspect of the language. It requires no textbooks, but rather provides a tailored-sheet system created by the teachers, adapted to the linguistic needs of the students. Without omitting written skills, we focus on conversation and its use in every day French. That’s why our teaching material is centered on actual French situations and enriched by numerous documents, including songs, newspaper and magazine articles, videos, games, etc.
All of our students are placed in different groups depending on their level: true beginners, false beginners, lower intermediate, intermediate, upper intermediate and advanced. Upon your arrival, you will be given an information kit. It contains basic information about the course, and general information about the neighbourhood and Paris.
With our very experienced teaching team in Lille, all of whom are university graduates, you'll be accompanied in consolidating and in building on current language skills, paying particular attention to oral and written expression, all the while gaining intercultural experience through your French-in-France language stay.
