Continue to understand and make yourself understood in a range of increasingly unpredictable everyday situations and begin to express your opinions.

A continuation course from Improvers but not closed to new learners.

It is planned that this course will be delivered online using Microsoft Teams.

The French Intermediate course allows participants to describe past and future events with a chronology, to present a place with its facilities, architecture, economy and history, to exchange emails in French on various topics, to use the French web pages for information and conversation, to talk about social transformations and medical developments, to envisage the outcome of current technological developments. Learners will also extend their knowledge of numbers to thousands and millions, and use proportions and percentages. A book will be recommended, magazine articles, audio tracks and videos extracts provided.

Participants will build short narratives with greater confidence, relate events, incidents or accidents, make telephone conversations, arrange a visit to the doctor and explain in detail the reason for this visit, understand a doctor’s or pharmacist’s advice and talk about health issues. They will narrate and give their opinion about how things used to be, contribute to a film review, plan activities for the coming weeks and for the next ten years, explain what kind of actions to take for a removal, discuss the pro & cons of innovations in transport and communications and organize projects. It means for tenses that they will review the present tense, the perfect and the imperfect past tenses, and apply progressively the pluperfect, the conditional and the Future.

In order to avoid disappointment, it is advisable to enrol at least 2 ½ weeks prior to the course starting. We will confirm course information two weeks prior to the start date.

French Higher Intermediate
There are no formal entry requirements however this course is designed for students who studied French for about two academic years and learnt to speak at the present tense with some knowledge of past tenses. Students should be able from the start to describe their weekly routine, to talk about their habits and their hobbies, analyse a few characters, provide opinions and express likes and dislikes. They should have seen numbers up to a hundred. We are committed to ensuring that you have a positive learning experience and will therefore be reviewing all our classes after the first session to ensure learners are enrolled on a course that is at the right level for them.

Please note - you should be 19 years old or over at 31st August 2020 prior to starting the course.

Courses can fill fast, so please enrol early to avoid disappointment. Decisions on whether a course is to run are made two weeks prior to the start date - an email will be sent to you should there be changes to your course or if it is cancelled. Please check your inbox leading up to your course, including the junk folders. For anyone without an email account, our Admissions team will phone you instead.

For the first week of the course you will need to bring a valid form of identification; this includes passport, driving licence, debit/credit card, Birth Certificate or National Insurance card.

Please note - you should be 19 years old or over at 31st August 2021 prior to starting the course.
If you are new to this course, then a text book may be required (Average cost £20 - £25). You may also like to buy a dictionary. Your tutor will be able to advise you at the first session.

Courses offered by the college are fully or partly funded by the Government and the published fee takes account of this funding.

Before starting a course, the College is required to check you meet conditions relating to that funding, e.g. age, residency status within the UK/EEA, prior qualification level and employment status. In some circumstances (such as with online enrolments), these checks can only be completed after you have enrolled and paid.

If you are unable to pay in full for this course at the time of enrolment, and the course tuition fee is £300 or more, an instalment plan is available. If this is your preference, please do not enrol online but rather call the Admissions Team on 01235 216400 to enrol.

Once enrolled, Admissions will take the first instalment payment from you and pass on your details to the Finance team who will email you to set-up your payment plan. Please return a fully completed instalment plan to Finance as failure to do so could result in being withdrawn from your course.

The rules on fee reduction are complicated, we would encourage you to talk to our Admissions Team on 01235 216400 to discuss these options. You can find more information on our Fees and Bursaries page - search "Fees and Bursaries" at the top of the page.
