Approach
Each lesson starts with a brief review of the previous lesson and space for questions. Then you work alternately in class, in groups or individually on interactive assignments. The emphasis in this course is on speaking and writing skills. You will learn to vary your use of time, informal and formal language.
Teaching Materials
You work with the book “Édito A2” (work and textbook). This method contains audio fragments, reading texts, speaking and pronunciation exercises and grammar. The material helps you develop the language step by step and apply it directly in conversations. Before the start of the course, we will inform you how you can easily order the learning material so that you can start your lesson well prepared.
