Summer 2022 - Online Children and Teens Classes
Description:
Online children and teens classes with Alliance Française
Our pedagogy is based on providing a fully immersive learning environment adapted to children and their developmental
needs, so at this stage lessons focus on teaching all 4 skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. Younger
children will learn mainly through songs, games and playful lessons, while teenagers will be given more opportunities to learn through
videos and interactive activities organized online or offline. Although grammar and conjugation won't be the primary focus of lessons,
teachers will make sure children and teenagers acquire all the necessary basics to be able to speak French accurately, and students who are
8 years old or more will be given the opportunity to take official exams in French if they wish to do so. While an emphasis will be on
listening and speaking skills at first, reading and writing skills will become more important as your child progress, and intermediate and
advanced level students will be expected to be able to write in French with a higher degree of accuracy.
If your child has never attended classes at AFW, you need to contact
us
before signing up for a class, so we can assess their level.
If your child is a teenager, they must take our placement test. For younger children, an informal interview
will be arranged before the first day of class in order for our team to assess your child's level, as well as to gain a better
understanding of learning goals which are most important to you.
When are lessons taking place?
Lessons scheduled during our Summer term will start on August 17 onward and will finish on September
7.

As non-native French speakers, my husband and I send our children to the AFW so they can immerse themselves in the French language and
culture. We also realize the importance of mastering a second language in today’s world. It’s amazing to see how their proficiency in the
language has grown and most importantly, their genuine love and interest in French.
My daughter Stella really enjoyed the online class she had over the last few weeks. Aurélie was a wonderful teacher and Stella had a great
time beginning to explore the French language. Thanks!
I believe the online platform works really well, and I am excited to see that online courses will be offered in the summer.
In terms of the spring online semester, my daughter Anna has been extremely engaged, the lessons have been impactful, and she has truly been
enjoying the interaction.
Thank you for all that you do with the class!
