Language Programme

This programme is designed primarily for students who wish to spend a full year or, one or two terms studying languages.

Students follow an intensive course in French or English. They study their chosen language for 18 hours a week. These hours incorporate the study of grammar, the use of authentic materials, the use of the computerised language laboratory, the Internet and a field trip component to discover the local area. Students also study up to 2 more languages from those taught (French, English, German, Italian, Spanish), as well as 4 hours of sport per week.

On demand, the programme can be personalised. For example, if students would like to replace the second or third language by another subject – mathematics, they may do so.

Students who join our language programme are prepared for the ALTE (Association of Language Testers in Europe) examination in their chosen language (French – DELF unités 1 à 6; English – KET, PET, FCE; German – Goethe Institut; Italian – Università per Stranieri Perugia; Spanish – Instituto Cervantes).
