Intensive French Course
Paris
This course includes a culture workshop once a week. The Intensive French course from Atelier 9’s Paris school offers a friendly and relaxed learning environment, which is made possible through their commitment to keeping each group to a maximum of 9 students. The school follows a much more communicative approach compared to more traditional styles of teaching French, and for that reason features a large amount of conversation activities, such as role plays based on everyday situations, or debates about current events, and so on.
Students are encouraged to participate actively, so this course is suited for those who are enthusiastic about the prospect of speaking as much as possible in class.
The school also offers a range of workshops that you can take part in, such as pronunciation workshops, and French music workshops.
Atelier 9 teaches reduced groups which is the secret of a friendly atmosphere and efficient learning. Gathered around a table, students are encouraged to participate in an active way and with the assistance of presentations, role-plays and debates, to stimulate their creativity.

“ The school use the “pédagogie différenciée”: Differentiated pedagogy is based on observation in a classroom, a teacher has students with different abilities. This method corresponds to give an answer to the mixed classes by adapting the practices to each student according to curricula, the teaching and the school environment. Often, it’s not the teacher in the centre of the class, but rather students and activities make a central interest. Moreover, this pedagogy aims to improve the harmonization between three components (subject, object and agent) and to strengthen relations between them in order to improve learning. In other words, differentiation (from the pedagogical point of view) means analysing and adapting methods and learning environments taking into consideration the needs and characteristics of one or more students during the learning process.”

This method corresponds to give an answer to the mixed classes by adapting the practices to each student according to curricula, the teaching and the school environment. Often, it’s not the teacher in the center of the class, but rather students and activities make a central interest. Moreover, this pedagogy aims to improve the harmonization between three components (subject, object and agent) and to strengthen relations between them in order to improve learning. In other words, differentiation (from the pedagogical point of view) means analysing and adapting methods and learning environments taking into consideration the needs and characteristics of one or more students during the learning process.”
