Learning French

French is widely used throughout the world - by around 80 million people as a first language and by many many more as a further language. It is also still the most widely taught language at school in England. Students coming to study French with us are often learning to go on holiday in France, to do business in France, or just to carry on form where they left off at school - sometimes many years ago. Whatever the reasons studying one of our French courses will help you to achieve your goals.

UIC London offers a wide choice of French language courses. Lessons include a balance of conversation, listening, pronunciation, grammar to help you survive and communicate in everyday situations in French speaking countries.

With the aid of a text book, the syllabus aims to provide useful, relevant language using up-to-date and interesting materials, as well as encouraging participants to practise the language to help confidence and develop fluency.

We use an interactive method of teaching based on learning by practising. That means that grammar is covered as much as possible by using practical situations, so speaking and actively using the language is central. Successfully implementing the interactive method totally depends on the personal attention your teacher is able to give you. Our groups never have more than twelve students.

A large part of the study material is presented in the form of practical activities and exercises through which you will learn to understand and speak French almost without noticing. In class, we make use of videos and other audio-visual materials. Naturally you will also be set weekly homework!
