'ONE-ON-ONE' FRENCH CONVERSATION SESSIONS TAUGHT ONLINE BY A TEACHER USING SKYPE !
Conversation session programme
|
The distance learning approach greatly enhances the comprehension and expression level of the student. Since there are no visuals other than the notes typed by the teacher on the Skype chat board, the student's concentration is highly focused.
Every French conversational session is structured and personalized to the student's level and pace of learning - they are performed in a fun and stimulating atmosphere with an encouraging, experienced teacher!
WHAT IS THE CONVERSATION PROGRAMME?
Each Conversation Session takes place on Skype with a teacher who is a French native speaker and lasts for 50 minutes.
During the Conversation Session, the teacher will gently correct you as you speak and will type any new vocabulary, expressions and corrections on the Skype chat board. The teacher will motivate you to express your opinions, your thoughts, will debate with you, will have you answer and ask questions, will work on your pronunciation, will encourage you so that you can express yourself in French with more fluidity and up-to-date expressions. After each session, the teacher will send the Skype chat board notes of the conversation to you via email.
Note that the Conversation Sessions do not include any homework. Also please note that the sessions will include some light grammar revision when needed; however, if you have not learned the basics of French grammar or if you need some real review, then we would ask you to first register for a package of Regular lessons. Another option is to sign up for a package of Conversation sessions and a package of Regular lessons and alternate your lessons between the two programmes.
WHO IS IT FOR?
For anyone who has a level of fluency in French (intermediate or advanced) who wishes to practice their verbal expression, improve their comprehension skills in a structured class. You will be gently corrected while speaking in order to gain better oral fluency. Every session lasts 50 minutes.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
After evaluating your current level of French and your objectives with an advisor, a teacher will arrange with you a 50-minutes French session at a day and time most convenient for you.
The session will take place via Internet with Skype. Before some of the sessions, the teacher may instructional material to you such as an article, a picture, a story or a role play to perform which will be used as a conversation topic during the lesson.
At the end of the lesson, you will schedule your next lesson date directly with your teacher.
After the lesson, the teacher will send the notes that were taken during class time in a Word file for you to review.
EXTRA: In addition to the lessons and the homework and in order to practice your French on a daily basis, you will be able to join our forum and answer the"Question du Jour" in French. After you've responded, the teacher who posted the Question will read your response and post any corrections on the forum- this way, you will continue to receive ongoing feedback on a daily basis. There is no extra fee for this service.
