Student opinions about Les ateliers FL, Biarritz

Liked
I was in a small group of 4-5 students. This gave a lot of opportunity to practice speaking and ask questions. The lessons became really individual and personal! The teacher had her laptop connected to a projector. If we didn't know words, she didn't just translate them, but showed us the pictures and explained it that way. I thought that was great! The lessons were regularly divided into a small grammar section at the beginning, then a lot of free speaking and practising and a small game at the end.
I really liked the fact that the surf lessons were organised through the school. It was stress-free and uncomplicated. You can surf every day except Saturday/Sunday.
Disliked
Unfortunately, the WiFi at the school didn't work very well. But it wasn't necessary for the lessons.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss I did three weeks. It was perfect for me, but after three weeks of daily surfing and weekend excursions, I ran out of steam. You can always book more lessons on site and take individual lessons. You can also rent surfboards and wetsuits. There are several people at the school who went surfing without a surf course!

The atmosphere in the school was friendly and relaxed. The professor was very competent, thoughtful and willing to listen to the students' interests, including the content. The lessons were demanding but not overwhelming. The school is located near the sea. I liked that very much. I was able to improve my French and my enjoyment of the language increased. I wasn't interested in any afternoon activities, but I assume that surfing, for example, was nice.
Disliked
Some rooms are very small, so the indoor climate in them was not good.

The teachers were extremely committed to both integrating everyone at their own level and promoting them individually. In this way I was able to take the exam for a better DELF/DALF certificate than I had initially strived for. The integration of digital technologies into the classroom has also made learning easier and more varied. Finally, I liked the principle that there was a lot of oral communication in class.
Disliked
In contrast to the online courses, there were only one or two groups in face-to-face classes and thus a loose division into performance classes. Despite the efforts made by the teachers to provide us with various assignments, the conversations together were far more effective for some than for others. In one case, participation in several online courses has proven to be more successful. The change, however, was absolutely no problem. Furthermore, I understood that the school was a testing center. The bus trip to an unknown location in Bayonne did not create the atmosphere of concentration that should exist before an exam, but it was easy to manage thanks to the good public transport network.

Quality of teaching / language progress: The face-to-face French classes were extremely sociable and didn't feel like school. The afternoon lessons of DELF/DALF exam preparation, on the other hand, were much more demanding and really exhausting at the beginning, but they also led to greater learning success.

Quality of teachers and students.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss I think it's depending on the timing though, there were fewer students during the off season. It's recommendable.

Didn't offer a pickup/drop off service by host family's just by the school at an additional cost - it was already the most expensive host family option Ive used out of 6. Also it is nice to be met by your host family

Questions and answers about Les ateliers FL

  • The schools themselves, not us, are responsible for arranging accommodation for students. When you book online on our website, you can indicate the type of host family you are looking for for your daughter.

    The host families are carefully selected and regularly monitored by the schools themselves. They are experienced in hosting foreign students and work with the schools on a regular basis. By homestay, we mean either a complete family, a couple or a single adult without children.
    Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 13, 2023
  • Unfortunately, no. There may be students with allergies, so no animals can be in class.
    Sabine Krafack, LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 05, 2023
  • Lessons are held in French, even from a relatively low level. The teachers only use English in an "emergency" when you're stuck. The immersive learning usually works very well, because the teachers are trained accordingly and can inspire even beginners with simple words for the language and promote learning progress!
    Sabine Krafack, LanguageCourse.Net - May 02, 2023
  • If the students are only 14 years old, we will not be able to include them in our adult programme. The minum age is 17 years.
    Corinne, Administration from France Langue, Biarritz - May 29, 2023
  • There is parking near the school, but unfortunately it is not free.
    Victor, from France Langue - Aug 01, 2023
  • Every summer there are many Swiss students at our school in Biarritz. It's around 40%. If you add the German and Austrian students, the figure is around 60% German-speaking students. This happens every summer in high season.
    Victoria, from France Langue - Aug 08, 2023
