ABOUT
The CCFS has developed unrivalled expertise in teaching French with a civilization component. For almost a century thousands of students from across the globe have begun or continued to study grammar and philosophy, whilst examining the fundamental aspects of French culture. This experience is combined with a constant adaptation to the current demands and formats of language learning. Interactive digital whiteboards are widely used, as are laboratories for the phonetics lessons. Targeted programs and modules provide teaching with a focus on academic skills, business French and exam preparation (TCF, DALF, DELF, DFP, etc.).
The teaching follows a semester academic calendar (with twelve weeks of lessons in autumn/fall and spring). Progress is assessed with an exam making it possible to measure the progress made in the semester in the four skills areas of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: written and oral production and written and oral comprehension. The semester teaching is supplemented by shorter sessions. The summer courses are monthly (one, two and/or three months). A January session provides an opportunity to explore aspects of French language and culture in more detail.
SERVICES OFFERED
Activities: Cultural workshops and activities are regularly organized: choirs, photography workshops, literary cafés… With our outside partnerships, excursions and activities supplement the language teaching with an introduction to the richness of French culture.
Housing: The Sorbonne University has a webpage listing housing options and housing providers (link is listed below).
