UPPER INTERMEDIATE 7

Standard Courses - Once a week

In Upper Intermediate 7, you’ll be diving into conversations about the place of work in our lives, professional culture and careers. You’ll learn about the management practices of French companies, discuss comparisons with your own experience and learn the modes of communication specific to the professional context. You’ll differentiate between direct and indirect speech (On se connait bien / elle dit qu’ils se connaissent bien), as well as standard and familiar registers (Perdre un document / Paumer un document). You’ll practice double pronominalisation to avoid repetition (Vous est-il possible de me la faxer ?), play around with French homonyms (S’est, se, c’est, ses) and learn useful expressions for adding nuance to your point of view (pour autant; sinon… du moins…).
This course is designed for students who have completed Upper Intermediate 6 or who have been assessed prior to enrolling.

UPPER INTERMEDIATE 8

Standard Courses - Once a week

In the final course of Upper Intermediate level, you’re honing the subtleties of French grammar and learning subject-specific vocabulary. In this course, you will discuss education and its development throughout history. You’ll describe the educational model of your country, discuss how it has changed over the years and express opinions on how it could be improved. You’ll describe wishes and goals (C’est une politique qui permette d’ancrer les fondamentaux), and encounter a variety of ways to describe the strength of probability (Il y a des fortes chances; il est peu probable que). You'll also learn some more advanced grammatical points such as suffixes for nominalising verbs into nouns (évoluer / l’évolution) and familiarise yourself with vocabulary for describing tone (ton neutre; ton agacé).
