Group learning at Alliance Française Ottawa
At Alliance Française Ottawa, we believe in the effectiveness of individualized learning. That’s why all our new learners take a placement test that positions them on the European standard scale. This precision enables us to form homogeneous groups, where each learner is exactly where he or she needs to be.
Here are the advantages of our level-based group courses:
- Targeted learning: Our groups are designed to precisely meet the needs of each learner and the group, guaranteeing optimal progress for everyone.
- Dynamic, balanced social interaction: Studying with peers of the same level encourages richer, more stimulating exchanges, improving understanding and communication.
- Increased, shared motivation: Learners feel more comfortable and motivated when they are at a level that suits them, which translates into rapid and lasting progress. Group emulation boosts motivation.
- Reinforced confidence: Being in a group with a similar level helps to build self-confidence, which in turn leads to better oral and written expression.
