  • Develop student’s ability to express themselves about their familiar environment. The sessions have a strong focus on play, are interactive and mostly focus on oral language.

  • Students will be assessed against the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages and will prepare the DELF Prim at the end of Year 2 (French language studies diploma).
