Our school
The atmosphere at SOFI 64 is both serious and relaxed. We know that confidence is essential for progress in French — which is why we put as much care into our teaching quality as we do into our support and hospitality.
Our team is available and attentive, always ready to help — whether it’s finding a host family, organizing activities, or simply making you feel at home in the school.
Your French Lessons
Objectives
Our goal is to help our students improve their French language skills providing them with authentic and relevant French courses. You will be working on grammar, syntax, conjugation and especially conversational French. You will also discover multiple cultural facets of France. We will help you understand French better through studying the CEFRL‘s five key skills (oral and written comprehension, written production, oral interaction and oral expression).
Methodology
We offer a specific approach of spoken French in communicative situations. Our French lessons are fun, interactive and challenging. We also follow the communicative and interactional method of the CEFRL.
Teachers
Each of our teachers has a university degree with a specialization in teaching French as a foreign language. They are all creative, dynamic and proficient with a successful track record in teaching French in France and/or abroad. They know how to make your courses stimulating and profitable.
Our director of studies runs the team meetings twice a week to follow up students’ improvement and to assure class homogeneity.
Teaching materials
For our group lessons, we use very up-to-date FFL Manuals (En Contact, L’Atelier, Défi, Inspire, Alter Ego+) that we carefully choose to provide our students with an organised and progressive way to learn French. Our teachers always combine them with authentic documents, audio and video documents, games.
Evaluation
Students receive a certificate stating the level reached. The levels are based on the CEFRL scale (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages):
—> A1 (Beginner Level) | A2 (Elementary Level)
—> B1 (Threshold Level) | B2 (Intermediate Level)
—> C1 & C2 (Advanced Levels)
