Grade Levels
AllAre your oral French skills feeling a little rusty?
These camps are intended for adults of any French language proficiency levels and designed to maximize your French repertoire. The camps focus on functional oral language skills, listening and speaking, and you can expect to hear and speak French all day. Effective second language teaching practices will be modeled by the facilitator, so you can start your school year with a range of strategies and activities for use at any grade level.
Everyone can successfully partake in all activities. The only prerequisites: some background in French language learning and a willingness to take risks and accept mistakes. A sense of humour would also be an asset as these low-stress, highly interactive days offer plenty of occasions for laughter.
Please use the self-assessment grid of the Common European Framework of Reference to determine the best camp level for you: http://www.coe.int/t/dg4/education/elp/elp-reg/Source/assessement_grid/assessment_grid_english.pdf
- Level I: A1-A2
- Level II: B1+
