The
Summer Courses take place on a campus, just a few steps away from the
city center. Featuring spacious classrooms surrounded by a private park
and boasting an expansive courtyard (so you can make the most of your
class breaks), this campus still lets you feel that you’re “on
vacation”, all the while benefiting from your language training in
Montpellier!
After taking an oral and written test, you
will be placed into the appropriate group for your level (6 to 12
students per class), according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
This
program of instruction develops your competence to communicate in
French in situations of day-to-day life, with regard to your higher
education goals, or within a professional context.
