We use a highly communicative method with a minimum use of English in the classroom. Our goal is to encourage students to think in French right from the very start. Teachers are native, or near-native, French speakers. Maximum class size is ten. A minimum of six students is required to constitute a class. An existing class of four or five may continue if students agree to decrease the number of classes. For some classes late enrolment may be permitted. Please be aware that some classes fill quickly, so to assure a place, you should make payment early. Twice a year the Alliance organizes a very popular all day French immersion program (Journée tout en français) when not a word of English is spoken! The next Journée tout en français will be held in Fall 2009. More information to come. 2- CLASS DESCRIPTION The Alliance offers a catalog of various classes. - LANGUAGE CLASSES with textbook (Reflets) & Videos 12 levels (See schedule of classes for more details) - SPECIAL INTEREST CLASSES (See schedule of classes for more details) 5 week classes: -Low Intermediate Conversation: Jun 30, July 7, 14, 21, 28 -Role Playing: June 30, July 7, 14, 21 28 -Poésie et chansons: August 4, 11, 18, 25, September 1 -Grammar Review: August 4, 11, 18, 25, September 1 -Actualités: July 9, 16, 23, 30, August 6 10 week classes: -Travel French: beginner level – practical situations -Intermediate Conversation: Discussion of various art & culture subjects -Advanced Conversation Literature: Discussion of literary work & conversation - Conversation: Reading & discussion – various subjects.
