Our methods

Our pedagogical system is based on personalized programs and individual support for students. Les ateliers FL have developed a method and a pace of progression as well as tailored activities so that each student can reach their set objectives according to the CEFR* (around 100 hours for levels A1 & A2, 150 hours from level B1).

* Common European Framework of Reference

The strengths of our teaching methods

Motivation and performance

Our teaching teams have developed a motivating and effective teaching method based on an action-oriented approach.

Immersion begins in our classrooms: students put the language into practice to draw on their knowledge, skills and reflexes to use in real situations.

Students are constantly interacting in both written and oral French and are therefore active in their learning. The working atmosphere in our schools is both friendly and serious; the pace is dynamic and steady to actively develop the language skills of students. From the point of view of our students, this means, « I’m learning, I’m enjoying learning, I’m actively participating so I’m progressing »

Le matériel pédagogique utilisé en classe comprend des manuels récents, des documents audio & vidéos, des articles de presse, des ressources Internet, de la littérature et surtout des ressources développées par nos professeurs. Ainsi, les activités proposées favorisent les échanges, les étudiants peuvent s’adapter à différents types de situations (quotidiennes, éducationnelles, sociales, économiques ou professionnelles).

Classes are organized according to level (from A1 level to C1 following the Common European Framework of Reference) and learning objectives.

The cooperative learning

Cooperative Language Learning is based on the practice of the language in real-life situations, using many different classroom environments. (In the classroom, outside of the class, on the FL Online platform, on the Mooc offered by FL).
The use of all the teaching technologies and methodologies available creates a complete experience with a full support for the learner.
