**Micro Group Course** This course for **intermediate level** is an ideal way to receive individual attention and have opportunities to speak French together at the same time. It is designed around simulated social situations, and focus on the oral skills you’re likely to need every day. **Content** The first part of the lesson concentrates on grammar and vocabulary on a given theme, with exercises to polish your pronunciation. Next, you will work on your reaction and response to spoken French. Students will make use of innovative materials too, including videos and e-learning. **The Approach** You will receive a written and oral evaluation beforehand to place you in the group that best suits you (A0 or A1). These assessments will also serve to discuss your specific needs and objectives. The school emphasizes speaking and communication to facilitate exchanges outside the classroom. The courses are divided into two parts and include a grammar part and an oral part to practice your new knowledge. The materials used are varied (videos, articles, recent French methods, games, etc.) and include authentic didactic documents adapted to your level that will allow you to better understand and adapt to real-life situations. All the courses are 90 minutes long, which is enough time to study a subject in depth while keeping you focused and retaining the course content and information more easily. **Progress** To measure your progress, the school offers a weekly evaluation, which is not graded, so you can review the grammar/vocabulary points you have studied during the week. Following these evaluations, your teacher will send you by email a non-exhaustive list of links, videos, etc. that you can consult independently. In addition, you will have the opportunity to hand in assignments that will be corrected by your teacher. This option is based on volunteering, as the school understands that you may have a busy schedule in Paris!
