When dealing with French organizations or coping with bureaucracy, your success may depend upon your ability to communicate in French.Your competitors will have this skill.

Teaching Methods
A conversational approach forms the basis of our French lessons, with the emphasis on fluent oral communication and the development of a wide vocabulary. Students are given written exercises or audio cassettes to consolidate what they have been taught during a class. The format of the courses enables students to assimilate material easily.

Tuition is offered in a variety of forms: as an intensive course, a long term programme, with individual or group lessons to suit your own requirements.

The aim of NFT is to emphasize practical competence. NFT teachers integrate the appropriate business, cultural and professional backgrounds and familiarize people through role play with the very situations they are likely to encounter. Topics of interest are introduced within a functional framework, through audio visual methods such as Espaces and le Nouveau Sans Frontières. Newspapers, magazines, films, television programmes and cassettes are used to ensure that students are familiar with regional variations and up-to-date professional terminology.

Training Programme
For group tuition, the teachers will assess all students and divide them into groups of comparable level:

The elementary level enables the student to acquire the basic essentials of communication and master the key elements of French for social situations.

The intermediate level gives the student the ability to converse comfortably on both a personal and professional level and provides an opportunity to become familiar with idiomatic expressions and standard business vocabulary.

The advanced level promotes the student's mastery of the normal social and vocational uses of the language and provides a specialist range of vocabulary related to his work environment.
