Maximum of 20 students GCSE grade A*/A or B required to enrol. Intensive and integrated

30hrs face to face (7-8 hours a week over 4 weeks)

30 hours of study online. The F2F sessions are organised in two types:

“input” sessions of 3 hrs with whole group (language presentations, grammar) - 20 hrs

“output” sessions (2hrs) in a group of 8-10 students: role-play, debate, short presentations - 10 hrs

Students’ progress

Faster than in the other CULP programmes: In both the weekly (4 months ) CULP course and the Summer CULP (3 weeks intensive) students are still pursuing their main studies, or work, besides the course

Here students have 5 weeks devoted to language study

Delivery in French: in such an intensive course, students use this opportunity more immediately and fluency progresses faster

The progress was particularly audible in the questions put by the students to the French doctor in week 4, and in their Oral Presentations
