The emphasis will be on learning through communication, though grammar points will also be taught as
appropriate. Teaching will be done through whole class work, individual work and small group and pair
work. Methods of learning include role play, games, music and interactive activities.
Progress will be checked informally throughout the course, by question and answer sessions during the
class, observation by the tutor, and by games and quizzes. Homework will also be given weekly as a means of assessing progress. There is no test or formal qualification at the end of the course.
You will gain more from the course if you are able to do at the very least one hour of study at home in between the classes!
You will be provided with many additional resources (including online ones) should you wish to make faster progress.
French Beginners 2 will follow after this course. Your tutor will advise you further.
