We are mainly oriented to the teaching of second languages through active learning methodologies, and the preparation of official exams according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages CEFR.
Français Nouvelle Vie was created in 2016 in Quebec, Canada. Our business idea in academic products and services was born as a response to the language needs of the Hispanic community and of other cultural origins that coexist in this province.
Over time, we have established ourselves as a language school with high and effective results in the academic and training processes of our students, such as passing official exams, success in job interviews, among other processes.
Short and highly intensive training, under the design of a work plan adapted to the student’s needs.
Lectures referring to the review of grammatical components that are implicitly adhering to comprehensive learning skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. In addition, they are presented progressively from the simplest themes to the most complex within the communication act.
The guiding tutor identifies the competencies where the student shows more ability to strengthen them and determines the skills with difficulty to emphasize and deepen.
100% personalized and online classes from the comfort of your home or your workplace, where you can receive your session of the day without traveling.
Focus and individualized attention on your process, direction and practice exercises adjusted to the student’s particular needs.
Today, French has become a language with great worldwide coverage. Based on the communicational method, we direct our classes with the main objective of teaching the student to interact with other people in the target language, which implies all forms of communication: speaking, writing (both reading and writing), the ability to listen and understand what the interlocutor says, and this is most easily achieved by teaching a person in natural conditions.
The modern communicative method is a combination of many ways of teaching foreign languages. Today it is the top of the evolutionary pyramid of various educational methods that suit most people, allow you to learn a foreign language faster and more consciously. From there, we position our pedagogical method to create real learning contexts.
Français Nouvelle Vie has a team of highly trained professionals, graduates of applied language programs with an emphasis on French, English, Italian and German, from prestigious universities located in Colombia, France and Brazil. Our teachers have experience both in the didactics of foreign language teaching and in linguistics and translation, support elements that will guide and complement your learning process.
