The Language Camp organized by ALC is an exceptional program combining language courses, sports and field trips together to give students a rich and diverse educational experience with a strong base in French FLE and/or English ESL.
It’s the perfect solution for students who want a fun, active and stimulating summer. This program is an opportunity to learn in a fun atmosphere and with the solid support of dynamic, motivated teachers.
English – French – Immersion Monday to Friday
from 9.00 to 16.00
This program is divided into themes, each of which is explored during a two-week workshop.
In the mornings, students participate in courses focused on establishing and developing vocabulary and phrase structure. These courses are supplemented with audiovisual technology.
The course is based on two essential elements: first, lessons are presented with television series to get students interested and motivated. By presenting the lessons in the context of real-life situations, students have the chance to identify personally with the characters and thereby progress more quickly in the chosen language.
Topics and grammar points acquired in the morning course are then reinforced in the afternoon workshops via defined themes and oral practice. The object of these workshops is to combine students’ independent knowledge with actual practice. This process reinforces both written and oral skills while also stimulating the personal tastes of students. In addition, participation in the interactive training project gives students the personal satisfaction of achieving something for themselves and not just for their teacher.
Using the most interesting projects, a series of theme-based activities will be organized outside the Academy Charlemagne, as well as one or two recreational sports activities each week.
This program is offered in small groups and can be taken for 2 to 6 weeks.
