GEOS offers a Semi-Intensive French Course for those students who want to study French in the morning but leave their afternoons free for travel and other leisure activities.
1 lesson = 45 minutes
INTEGRATED SKILLS CLASS (AM)
During the morning session, students study four French skills - reading, writing, speaking and listening - through a “Communicative Language Teaching” methodology. New grammar patterns are learned in the context of a conversation or a real-life situation. Students also use various activities to practice English conversation including listening tasks, role plays, and discussions. Practical reading and writing tasks and vocabulary studies are presented as well in our 6 available levels. Students can begin on any Monday.
ACTIVE LISTENING CLASS (PM)
During the afternoon session, students will cover a variety of topics while practicing French conversation management, North American conversational styles, and pronunciation. Students learn commonly-used idioms and slang in a communicative way. Teachers also use various activities to practice these new idioms including listening tasks, role play, and discussion.
