About our FRENCH Levels

Levels 1 and 2
At the elementary level, students with no knowledge or very
little knowledge of the language gain “survival” skills through
the use of audio and visual materials. With the teachers’
help, students learn to identify, describe, ask for information
and express themselves simply.
As students progress, they learn to voice their opinions,
recount experiences and read simple texts. Exercises
featuring real-life situations and conversations help students
become more comfortable in French.
Levels 3 and 4
Students learn all the essential elements of language. Audio
and video materials increase understanding. Reading longer
texts expands vocabulary and generates in-class
discussions. Group activities encourage students to express
themselves more naturally. Students learn to function
comfortably in most situations. They develop confidence in
their language environment. Students improve their
speaking, listening, reading and writing abilities.
Levels 5, 6 and 7
Advanced students polish their language abilities, learn the
finer points of grammar, and acquire a deeper knowledge of
the French language. They gain confidence in their ability to
overcome the challenges of the language through a variety of
exercises in oral and written French: debates, presentations
and discussions. Students are exposed to more
sophisticated vocabulary and idiomatic expressions. A
programme of oral and written projects challenges them to
use their skills in both classroom and community activities.
